That Song Stuck in Your Head

It’s happened again. I have a song stuck in my head.

When I’m quilting, I love to listen to music. But I must admit I get in quite a rut. I listen to the same CD over and over, most likely because I’m not really listening to it at all. I just hum along and use the music to keep my groove when I’m ironing, cutting, or sewing. But that means I end up humming the songs at odd times after I’ve left my studio, not knowing where the tune came from.

Right now the song stuck in my head is fabulously appropriate for work (or for play…). I just screened Peggy Martin’s DVD (Peggy Martin Teaches you Quick Strip Paper Piecing) that was just released this November and there’s a terrific song that runs over the closing credits. A little research told me it’s “Quilting Party” performed by none-other-than Peggy Martin herself. It’s beautiful! What a talented woman.

I get songs out of my head by thinking the tune of “The Girl from Ipanema”…that gets rid of any unwanted tune and doesn’t get stuck itself. I’m usually pretty desperate to get the songs unstuck, but not this time. I think I’ll let this one stick around for awhile.
