I actually love my moms music, even the big band stuff that my dad likes, I have very eclectic tastes, there is very little that I won't listen to,
Rock band and guitar hero has played a big part in bringing back a lot of it,
We are bizzar, I have blown several sets of car speakers, plus music is also very therapudic and it helps when I am having an off moment or day.

My issue is that I can't remember half of the names of the groups, some are just to weird, the kids like to sing and stuff, Hammy just played Violet in Charlie and the Chocolate factory. I transfered all the kids music to my computer so that I could put it on my ipod,

After I do a large stipple or meandering top to bottom and side to side through the center - I go any and all directions to quilt where I need to quilt, I always quilt next to quilting. When I'm done you can't tell how I did it. Works well for me. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks for all the suggestions -- I've put it off long enough. I'm definitely going to start quilting next week. I usually only get one quilted per winter (am I slow or what) so hope this will go a lot faster. I'll get that music started and put the pedal to the metal!
