T-Shirt Quilt

I had made a t-shirt quilt for my son-in-law, made from "death metal" bands he had been to.  I was told that death metal is heavier music.  To me, it's just screaming into a microphone.  The t-shirts are just scary to look at (as you can tell).  When my daughter told me they were going to sleep under it, I thought How?  There are devils and other awful pictures.  I thought (in my catholic mind) that the devil will come and get them when they are asleep.  So I went to church and got holy water, spread the quilt out, and sprinkled holy water on each block.

A Quilter, A Mimi, A Mom, A Wife, A Sister, and A Friend

Hi, I'm Lill and I am a quilter.  I've started quilting about 30 years ago, but because I was raising my girls, I didn't get back into it until my oldest daughter was pregnant.  Now I am making up for lost time.  Quilting gives me the peace I need within myself.  I play my music and I sew away.  After I get the hang of blogging I will post pictures of my quilts. 

I'm also a mom to three daughters (31, 29, and 27) two grandchildren, married for 35 years.  This blog will also chronicle my adventures as a mom, grandmother, and wife. 

I am fortunate enough to be the youngest of four girls born to Polish-Americans.  While I have some long-life friends, I am also having fun making new friendships.
