I like to listen to talk radio, Rush Limbaugh on weekday afternoons. I dont watch alot of tv so the EIB keeps me up on current events. And when I get tired of hearing them complain I listen to the radio. Some days I just listen to the birds outside my window.

I listen to TV while sewing most of the time. But, when I have a good book on CDs I listen to them when I sew. That is especially good when I sew at 1 and 2 in the morning and not much is on TV.

Depending on my mood, some days I enjoy silence and other days I put of some "old country" music and sew away.

It depends on what I am working on and how my mood is. Sometimes I listen to music on my MP3, listen to tv or listen to talk radio. But if I have my embroidery machine going and am sewing on the other machine, I usually want quiet. (That is an oxymoron, isn't it?)

I don't think I could watch a movie and sew. I don't watch much tv. Just a few minutes before bed everynight and once in a while I can sit down for a part of a movie. Usually takes about 4 times to catch the whole movie. Music is always on. Gotta have something on in the background.

Ditto! I sew in the dining room and the TV is in the living room at a 90 degree angle so I CAN"T watch it but I do leave something on that I've seen and just listen.

I listen to audio books. Actually, it keeps me from getting distracted on what I am doing when I am sewing! Oh, yah! My sewing area is right by a window and I can look out and say hi to the neighbors also. They know exactly what I am doing too, so it's just a "hi, how are ya!" Edie

Most of the time, I sew in complete silence. I think it is because I work at Wal-Mart and it is so noisy, that I enjoy the peace and quiet when I get home. Plus, I can concentrate better.

I have a little TV on my sewing desk and it's always on even if it's a cooking channel. I can't say that I "watch" the TV as much as listen to it and look up once in a while. I don't like quiet.
