Giveaway Winner for the Scrappy Baskets Quilt Pattern

June 07, 2017

Wow! what an amazing fun giveaway. Such great comments, so interesting to read all about what you all listen to while you are quilting.

Congratulations to Marilyn Jordan Fraser !! This was Marilyn's comment:

'Love your quilts! When I’m quilting, I usually like to listen to a Christian radio station in the States called K-Love.'
After reading all the fabulous comments, I though about what I listen to, when I listen to what and why ? LOL

My conclusion is that I listen to the radio mostly when I need some background noise and company. I have found a fabulous station called 'Magic' that plays all the songs from the 60's though to now. I also watch Coronation Street, I know... I know my husband is NOT a fan so I watch it while I quilt. I also love Audio Books when I am in the mood to be taken to somewhere by the orator and can happily forget all my responsibilities. BUT all that said...... when I want to concentrate on what I am working on I listen to peace and quiet, this is where I can really be the most productive, without any distractions, peace and quiet is truly my happy place.

Happy Stitching
