ReplyDeleteI love to have cooking shows playing in the background while I'm sewing. Why? Because I love cooking just as much as I love sewing ;o)
Bon Jovi! Thanks, Joy, for truly being a joy :) Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteI have my music playing songs uplifting my LORD and my spirit. Love your site. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI love to watch, listen to Netflix movies on my portable DVD player. Love a good old fashion horror movie.
ReplyDeleteI get in moods for different types of media while sewing/quilting. Today during the day I played cds on the stereo and this evening watched a couple of movies via Hulu online on my laptop. I have been known to go to our local library and pick up fiction on cds. I love the bright fabrics that you are displaying!
ReplyDeleteI sew to quietness.
ReplyDeleteI always sew while listening to either folk music or country music!
ReplyDeleteI tend to have the TV on in the background & at the moment it's cricket as I live in Australia & it's our summer sport.
ReplyDeleteI like to listen to the radio when I sew... but when my machine is humming I can't really hear the music. Thanks for a great giveaway! :)
ReplyDeleteUsually my background are my kids, hopefully not screaming :)
ReplyDeleteWhen they are at school I work in silence (when you have two boys silence is very welcomed). Ana
I listen to Radio 4 when I'm quilting - not very rock n roll, but it works! :-)
ReplyDeleteI like to listen to my local radio station.
ReplyDeleteI play internet radio in the background when I sew. And sometimes audiobooks. I love a good story, don't you? Thank you for your service to our country. My son-in-law is an active duty Marine, an Osprey pilot. San Antonio is a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteI have to have the tv on in the background. Hubby once turned it off and I was not pleased so on it went again. saying that I will soon be in the office sewing so have to think what to listen there. Might have to be iTUnes on the 'puter
ReplyDeleteUsually lovely family chat as I mostly do hand stitching...but if alone then all the lovely oldies in my songbook collection...so pleased to find your lovely blog...we follow you on Facebook as Buttonmad and are part of this hop under Incomparable buttons...
ReplyDeleteWarm wishes from south africa
I need Silence to 'Concentrate' ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance :D
I love listening to Rammstein while I quilt. Brings out the creativity in me! Thanks for the chance, Dianne
ReplyDeleteI actually don't have anything on when I'm sewing, I just drift off into my own world to a happy place.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt in the background above!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I quilt most times I have instrumental music playing. And then some days I want it quiet as a mouse. Depends on my mood.
During Christmas season, I love to play Christmas songs. :)
Wow - I'm so glad I found your shop...I love your selection! I don't usually listen to much while I sew. My "studio" is in the laundry room, which is next to our playroom. So, I listen to either the washing machine or to whatever the boys are doing. I like to keep an ear out for their shenanigans!
ReplyDeleteI sew with music in the background. On my ipod at the moment is Lady Gaga.
ReplyDeleteI usually have the TV on while I sew, but it's more for the "company" vs. actually paying attention to it. thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun question, I lately got into Audio books on CD and listen to those while I quilt, I love fun stories or ones about different cultures..... my latest one was THE LAST QUEEN OF KING HENRY the 8th.... I'm totally NOT into history, but this one was interesting!
ReplyDeletenew follower here
I generally will listen to quilty podcasts but this time of year I watch Christmas movies. I am such a sap for Christmas movies.
ReplyDeleteIf anything is on will be the tv in another room. Need to be able to hear my Pomeranian if he needs to go out or anything
ReplyDeleteI like to do hand stitching, and I usually do it in front of the Television.. "Go Navy!!"
ReplyDeleteI keep the TV running but hardly watch it. Thanks for the chance to win
ReplyDeleteI sew with the hum of the baby monitor as it is nap time and I am trying to get as much done as I can :)
ReplyDeleteWhat's on the background is the music of daily life...cats crying for attention, teenager's rock music, garbage trucks in the alley, the hum of the dishwasher, and water running through the pipes...
ReplyDeleteI sometimes turn on a DVD while I am quilting. It's really the only time I get to watch a movie or something. Thanks so much for your generous giveaway. I love Pat's fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI generally have CDs playing in the background.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes listen to light jazz when I sew, but mostly I just like it peaceful and quiet
ReplyDeleteFor me, it depends on whether the hubby is home or not. If he is, he has control over the TV and I'm listening to Lost or him playing a video game and cursing incredibly loud. If he's not it's either Bones or my One Republic Pandora station. Love pandora! Regardless, there is always the noise of the dogs playing together and the cats meowing for attention. It's a beautiful life!! Thank you for this opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI just found you and "joined" the site! You have souch wonderful fabric choices. I usually don't have anything on in the background when I am sewing, since I find the process itself relaxing. Funny little side note, my DH was in the Navy for 21 yrs. he was on Subs. I am glad you have something that you enjoy while you DH is away, I know it can get awful lonely at times, staying busy really helps. We have been retired for 11 yrs now, and I am almost used to having him home all the time, though sometimes I wish he was still going to sea.(LOL)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy listening to Sting. Sometimes my parrot, Jack, sings along in vibrato. However, Jack usually adds an "e-i-e-i-o" from his favorite song, Old McDonald. LOL! Thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI usually sew to the background of music, mostly Jack Johnson. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI listen to music (Adele) on my IPOD with headphones while the grandchildren run thru the house making a mess. Sewing and Adele - I can face the mess they're making when I'm done!
ReplyDeleteI usually sew in the peace and quiet... or with music if I remember!
ReplyDeleteI quilt with music on. Usually Adele. Thanks so much
ReplyDeleteI am following now
ReplyDeleteI prefer nothing in the background, but often it is barking dogs or my husband watching hockey :)
ReplyDeleteI usually have the TV on or I listen to NPR on the radio.
ReplyDeleteCindy

ReplyDeleteI quilt to tunes...I am nuts for broadway music so I pick a show and crank up the tunes.the nay problem is that sometimes I don't hear the phone ringing and my family gets worried, lol.
I am a new follower on your blog and twitter @shapernes
I have all 11 seasons of MASH on dvd and I watch them while I sew. It is good background noise that for the most part leaves me smiling and giggling :) Thanks for the giveaway!!!

ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the Blog Hop. I've seen so many interesting sites!
I sew to Disney Movies. Such fun music.

Its got to be paramore or a chick flick because thats the only time i can watch one and not roll my eyes at it as im too busy :)
ReplyDeleteI sew at all times; screaming children, kid videos, radio, pandora, you name it. Though, my favorite and most productive background noise is my Chris Tomlin pandora station.
ReplyDeleteI like football in the background. When I hear a great play, I can always catch the replay and I'm getting 2 things done at once.
ReplyDeleteI always have the radio on while I'm in my sewing room! BBC Radio 4
ReplyDeleteI usually have my favorite DVD's playing on the TV. They keep me company. Thanks for the fantastic giveaway. Hugs

ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteLet's see, when I'm sewing while teaching, I talk with my student. When I'm sewing to create one of my "how to" you tube videos, I'm talking to a camera.
When my younger daughter is home she watches TV in the room with me while I sew. When I'm alone and sewing, I love to have Sense and Sensibility on in the background to listen to.
Thanks again :-)

ReplyDeleteI sew to the whirring of my computer on! heehee! Sometimes I have ITUNES on my computer to listen to my tunes! I'm a new follower...your #100! Congrats and Happy holidays! ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteIt depends on what I am working on. If it is something that I am doing for the first time I lock myself away and just work with nothing on. If it something like a quilt then the T.V is on all the time, if I have music on I forget to work and listen to the music. That is how I work.Thank You for this giveaway and Happy Holiday to You and Yours.
ReplyDeleteIt depends, sometimes it's music, sometimes it's tv. Most of the time it's whatever my family is up to at the time I am sewing.
ReplyDeleterjbmom7@optonline.net
Depends on my mood - sometimes radio apps (more selection), my music, podcasts (quilting usually!), The Quilt Show episodes on my computer or the TV - esp. since hubby just got a new 55" one - now I can really SEE it in our combined office/sewing studio room - thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteJoy, I love to put on the Galaxy Easy listening station and it plays in the background for everything I do in my room, be it on the computer, in front of the sewing machine or relaxing with a great "who done it". Thank you from one blogger to another for participating in this Blog Hop, isn't it SEW much fun?
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower ;) I love to watch Hulu while I sew. I have a space where I set up my laptop. I will sometimes listen to audiobooks or podcasts too. My sewing time is basically TV time though.
ReplyDeleteI usually have to have it quite while i'm working...lol thanks for the chance to win

ReplyDeleteI listen to the radio while sewing. Your fabrics are so pretty something I surely would buy.

ReplyDeleteI would love to be able to say that there is music playing in the background when I sew but the most common noise I have is "MUUUMMMMM, can I ....."
ReplyDeleteThis is generally followed by a demand for food, drink or the opportunity to help. Three year olds do not help in a way that is helpful but I love including them so I get very little done!
My sewing room is very quiet unless my dog Harley decides to visit. She love attention and giving hugs.
ReplyDeleteThe tv or the grandsons! I'm going to follow you on facebook so I don't miss anything:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great question! I sew in the dungeon (basement) so nobody bothers me down there - the cat comes to visit occasionally, and I always have the TV on to keep me company :) Sometimes when there's nothing on I put on a DVD :) My favourite show to sew to is Murder, She Wrote, lol!
ReplyDeleteA Sleep Sheep. White noise to drown out my machine so my sweet two month old will stay asleep!

ReplyDeleteRight now I sew with Christmas music, but it's usually a mix of Jack's Mannequin, Coldplay, and Blue October. :)
ReplyDeleteI usually have the TV on in the background, a good opera is a must when I am handquilting - makes the needle fly.

Thanks for the awesome giveaway - and the discount code! I generally sew with the TV on in the background, although it can't be something I have to pay too much attention to. Other times I like silence - I have a toddler and work full-time so quiet time can be a luxury!
ReplyDeleteI think I would want to set up a cot in your booth and live there. To be surrounded by such fun fabrics all the time, I can only imagine!!
ReplyDeleteBecause I've two beautiful, creative and noisy children as well as a husband who must listen to music or have noise around I listen to absolutely nothing when I'm sewing. Well, most of the time. ;o) You know the saying at the movies 'Silence is Golden'? Heck, they weren't kidding!! Thank you for the give-away. Have a lovely Christmas!!
I always have the lifetime channel in the background. I like listening to the movies!
ReplyDeleteIf it's not the tv (How its made or modern marvels) its country music :) Y\Thank you for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI sew to movies. It has to be one that I've watched enough times that I know it by heart so I won't stop and watch instead of sewing. If I need to hurry because I have a deadline it has to be a fast-paced action movie. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sponsoring this giveaway. I either have the radio turned on tuned KCUR (public radio) or I'm listening to a book on CD.
ReplyDeleteI always have music on...right now it's Christmas carols up loud!!! I am a new follower :)
ReplyDeleteI sometimes have the tv playing in the background, but usually enjoy the quiet. The fabrics are beautiful.

I love to listen to podcasts and music while I craft in my sewing/crafting room. The only thing I have to try to ignore is my kitty. she loves to jump in with her opinion of anything currently being created.
ReplyDeleteI like to watch tv... preferably re-runs since it is hard to hear over the sewing machine LOL... I am a follower
ReplyDeleteMusic is a must...usually Lady 'A' or Sugarland....but this time of year it's Christmas music. birdena@sympatico.ca
ReplyDeleteI don't usually have anything on, music or tv. I have found that it distracts me from the sewing machine too much and I screw things up. LOL
ReplyDeleteI like it quiet when I am sewing. I have actually bought books on tape and also some CD's that I thought would be NICE to have on while sewing, but I never use them for that!!! I am one who just enjoys peace and quiet. (Maybe it's from the years of teaching younger grades in school? Once retired, I wanted some SILENCE!! LOL)
ReplyDeleteI just started quilting this year. I used to love to quilt to the tv while All My Children was on. It was also my "me" time because my son goes to preschool in the afternoons. I haven't found a good replacement since they took it off the air. Oh how I miss those people of Pine Valley...
ReplyDeleteI listen to a variety of different kinds of music!
ReplyDeleteI like to listen to the quiet when I sew.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the thoughts of my mind, most of the time. But there are times when some easy listening or Christian music in the back is pleasant.
ReplyDeleteI watch BBC frock dramas on my laptop while I sew (at least when I am chain-piecing!)
ReplyDeleteI always have the radio on while I sew...could run from country to rock to talk shows.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's TV (enven though it's not even in the same room), sometimes, it's just the sewing machine and other times, my cats just trying to catch my attention !
ReplyDeleteI like the sound track to Mama Mia...nothing like ABBA to get you in a joyful mood. I am now a follower...love your blog!
ReplyDeleteI prefer quiet when I'm sewing, so I can concentrate on what I'm supposed to be doing. But one of the cats usually starts meowing to go out or be fed. Or my husband has the TV on real loud. So usually the quiet is just inside my head. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteUsually the sound of my son's CD on while he's napping in the afternoons! The dishwasher too.

ReplyDeleteWow...couldn't believe that the comment right before me said what I was going to say...I have the TV on in the living room and yes, my two adorable kitties do interupt me needing treats, wanting to go out, then wanting to come in...etc. Love your blog and your bright colors...give your husband a big thank you for being in service to our country and have a very Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteMusic or TV but nothing I have to follow or I mess up.
ReplyDeleteMostly I like quiet when I sew, but sometimes I watch movies.

ReplyDeleteI listen to an audiobook. Presently it is the new book in the Song of Ice and Fire series. Great giveaway, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI used to have a DVD or video on for background noise. I can only have previewed ones because if I haven't seen the movie I watch instead of sewing. Last month I got a new TV that actually has channels so now I try to find something on the tube. I'm getting a little tired of talkshows and will probably go back to the movies. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI always listen to my police scanner while quilting. I have meet you before and the quality of products are awesome.

My preference is Blessed Silence! I love just listening to the whirl of my sewing machine, very relaxing. BUT sometimes I put on Spirit 105.9 a family Christian Station for uplifting music. I nearly ALWAYS have a monkey on my back - literally - my 3 year old loves to climb up in the back of my chair and 'drive'. Mom is sitting is code for 'Climb on Mommy Time'.
ReplyDeleteI've been enjoying NOTHING on in the background lately, especially if I'm quilting on the longarm. That way I can really enjoy just the quilting.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the TV is on. I also like to listen to books on tape while I sew.
ReplyDeleteI listen to country music on the radio while I sew or cross stitch.
ReplyDeleteThanks.

I prefer quiet most days so nothing is on in the background. I've tried listening to books on tape or podcasts but find that even though I think I'm paying attention...I never remember anything I heard! :)
ReplyDeleteI love to have some music on in the background, especially Christmas music right now! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteThat's weird I guess I don't really have anything on in the background. I am just glad silence and me time.
ReplyDeleteOh I love your little store! I'm always glad to find another store online that looks fabulous! Do you purchase fabrics from your travels to feature in your shop or stay with the regular main funky designers?? I know I've found a woman local to me who makes her own prints and her stuff is amazing!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, while I sew I always listen to a movie or watch the latest TV series I'm streaming on Netflix. I love it!! I can't do quiet. Quiet seems so serious to me! Sometimes it's just music but it's never quiet!!
Thanks for the chance to win! Happy holidays to you and your family. xo

I'm a new follower and the fabric is so yummy! I usually have an old movie playing in the background though I just bought myself several books on tape that I plan on listening to.
