I usually have old movies on when quilting. I don't really have to watch them because I already know what is going on. I also have all 10 seasons of the Waltons and the movies. My DH knows I'm sewing as soon as he hears the theme song :lol: :lol:

I read, or rather listen to 'books on tape'. I enjoy being read to.

Hi, while I'm sewing I wash clothes. Since my machines are outside my kitchen door and I am upstairs, I use a baby monitor that lets me hear when the machines are ready for me. It works great....Linda

Sometimes a movie that I've seen before so I can sew and keep up with the story. Or, occasionally, music. Not a TV fan, and as I tell my DH (TV addict), quiet is nice.

I love to put a movie in and work on a quilt. I sew leisurely then and find I enjoy my time more. I don't mind the quiet time either.

I have my mini computer on my sewing table and listen/watch stuff off of Netflix.

I listen to audio books. I spend one hour a day going to and from work. I download books from the local library (for free) to my ipod. I have a slave cable that hooks my ipod up to my car sterio. Nothing in my ears so I can hear sirens and horns!
When I quilt, I listen to the current book. If it is really good, I find it as a source of inspiration to get me into the room. Try it. You may like it.

I LOVE the "accessory" on your ruler rack!

I listen to movies while I sew. The tv is in the next room, so no temptation to watch.
