Cross Patch Block

Happy Groundhog Day! If you’re not at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney this morning, shivering to the sound of a polka band and waiting for a woodchuck to see his shadow, you might celebrate the holiday the way I am – by watching a little Bill Murray. I like the dialog in the movie Groundhog Day: “Come on, ALL the long distance lines are down? What about the satellite? Is it snowing in space? Don’t you have some kind of a line that you keep open for emergencies or for celebrities? I’m both. I’m a celebrity IN an emergency.” I also like it for the quilts. There’s a very feminine shabby chic postage stamp quilt on the bed where Phil Connors keeps waking up on February second. There’s also a really fun wall hanging featuring appliquéd ground hogs (with shadows) and Trip-Around-the-World blocks behind Phil’s head as Rita meets Ned Ryerson.
