What to Watch While Quilting: Top Recommendations
There’s something about quilting time that feels like a little pocket of peace in the day. The machine hums, the fabric moves through your hands, and for a while, the to-do list can wait.
If you’re like me, that quilting time is even better with the right background company. Whether you’re piecing a quilt top or hand stitching binding, having a good podcast, show, or audiobook playing makes the time at the machine even more enjoyable.
Below, I’m sharing my current favorite podcasts, shows, audiobooks, and playlists for quilting. Bookmark this page for your next sewing session, and be sure to share your own favorites in the comments.
Best Podcasts for Quilters (and Anyone Who Loves Business Talk)
My podcast taste tends to lean business, since that’s my jam. If you’re looking for podcasts to listen to while quilting, here are my current favorites:
- The Game with Alex Hormozi
- The Art of Accomplishment
- Craft to Career (I may be biased, but I love it!)
- Anatomy of a Brand
- Million Dollar Grit
- My Unsung Hero (a non-business pick, for when I want something different)
TV Shows and Movies to Watch While Quilting
These are great for the moments when you want to glance up between seams, or just enjoy some handwork while you watch:
- Paradise (Disney+)
- The Jinx (an oldie but a goodie)
- Ted Lasso
- Severance (hang in there, it really does get better, and it’s SO good)
- Slow Horses
- Black Bird
- Love Is Blind
- Emily in Paris
- Nobody Wants This
- Killing Eve (a bit dark, but I really enjoyed it)
Audiobooks for Your Next Quilting Session
I have a running list of my top 30 favorite audiobooks (link here), but since compiling that list, I’ve added even more to the queue. Here are the latest additions:
- The Wedding People
- Powerless and Reckless by Lauren Roberts
- Framed
- The Tell
