Francie's Quilts | ||||
Francie Skarich is a huge fan of "It's a Wonderful Life" and has become a good friend.
Years ago at Christmastime, she started sending me a European speciality pastry called potica (pronounced po-TEET-sa) bread. It's rolled, and inside are brown sugar, nuts and all kinds of goodies. It is so delicious! I heat it, slather it with butter, then yum! In December 2001, she sent three for Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter. They freeze well. |

Last
Christmas, she really topped them all. This handmade quilt measures
35-by-48 inches. It is all about Zuzu and the film. She hand-stitched
angels holding roses and, of course, one holding potica bread. Each
square has real bells so that the quilt always jingles. Movie stills
and a copy of her Zuzu Society certificate are printed and hand-sewn
on this beautiful piece. |
