I hate for it to be too quiet -- I'll get distracted by my thoughts of school & planning & kids -- I usually have the computer on with iTunes or hulu running -- nothing exciting.
I learned the hard way to not watch Greys Anatomy while quilting -- I literally sat for 30 minutes with the same piece of fabric in my hand while I was rivited to the computer screen. I do watch old episodes though.
Quilting isn't so much therapy as an escape for me -- I'll do whatever it takes to stay in that la-la land!

At night after I get home from work and supper is over, I like to hand quilting or some kind of hand work. It makes me escape from the day I just had and block out my husband's snoring, well sort of!!!!!!

Years ago my mother told me that hand work (crocheting, knitting, etc) were the calming "pills" of yesterday. Today, I am an avid believer in this as it helps me when I am ill, helped me through the days of my late husband's illness and his passing. I know that when I busy myself with a project I am completely away from all negative feelings and thoughts. So, pass it on "good thoughts" to all.

I tried that, but the sound of running water kept me going to another room if you know what I mean

I need something in the backgroud to break the silence. I have tinitus which makes silence deafening. If I'm frame quilting it's music with a beat - Garth Brooks - if it's piecing then - Kenny G. TV is reruns - I can "watch" it in my mind as I listen to the dialog-LOL! The sign on my door reads "Beware - Do Not Disturb! - I'm quilting and my needle's loaded!"
