I broke up the individual characters from the Mario Brothers cross stitch sampler so they could be stitched separately if you want to – or copy and paste them into your own configuration. I also went through and doubled the size on them – so there’s 1 sheet where they characters are roughly 1″ square and another where they are 2″ square. Email me for the pattern – it’s an Excel sheet. Hopefully I can figure out how to post a downloadable file here soon.

This week’s quotable movie is the classic Clue! I mean it’s got Tim Curry, Chrisopher Lloyd, and Madeline Kahn – what more do you need! Sitting down and re-watching this was an absolute joy and, of course, it’s filled with cheeky quotes for us off-beat crafters to enjoy. Remember – all quotes will be available via email charted for cross stitch.

Happy Stitching! Click here for Galaxy Quest quotes!
This weekend my brother-in-law stumbled across a blog that touted a post called something like ‘100 Essential Geek Quotes – Gurrl Style’. I was immediately hooked! I’m a Geek and I’m a Girl! This has to be for me… and I was sorely disappointed. They were quotes all right, but only a handful of them were geeky and less than that were actually good quotes. Most of them were just things females happened to have said in a movie.
Let me reiterate – I was disappointed (and so was my brother-in-law).
So we set out to make our own list of quotes – granted we were equal opportunity with ours.
And how does this fit into a crafty blog? Well quotes make great cross stitch material! Stitch up a sampler or just a little sign! All the quotes listed here (and in subsequent Sampler Quotes posts) will be charted for cross stitch and made available via email – thepaperfox.net@hotmail.com , or you can leave a request in the comments below and I’ll send them your way.
This week’s movie was Galaxy Quest – if you have not seen this one you are totally missing out. Tony Shaloub as a stoner, Sigourney Weaver as a blond and totally having a spaz attack near the end, plus the guy who plays Zaphod Beeblebrox playing crewman # 6, aka: the redshirt! It’s a Star Trek parody baby – and done beautifully.
Some of these we went back and forth on their ‘quotability’ – tell me what you think!
And the quotes are:
***
“My TV Guide interview was six paragraphs about my boobs and how they fit into my suit!” ~ Gwen Demarco / Sigourney Weaver
***
Dr. Lazarus: “You don’t hold the turbo down, it’s for quick boosts!”
Commander Tagert: “Oh like you know!” (Alan Rickman and Tim Allen)
***
“Hey guys, there’s a red thingy heading toward the green thingy… I think we’re the green thingy.” ~ Guy Fleegman or Crewman # 6 / Sam Rockwell
***
“You broke the ship? You broke the bloody ship! ~ Dr. Lazarus / Alan Rickman
***
“Look, I have one job on this lousy ship, it’s stupid but I’m gonna do it! Okay!?” ~ Gwen Demarco / Sigourney Weaver
***
“Hey, don’t open that! It’s an alien planet! Is there air? You don’t know!” ~ Guy Fleegman / Sam Rockwell
***
“Didn’t you guys ever watch the show?” ~ Guy Fleegman to the other crewmembers/ Sam Rockwell
****
“Let’s get out of here before one of those things kills Guy!” ~ Gwen Demarco / Sigourney Weaver
***
“Chompers? Well screw that! What is this thing? I mean there’s no useful purpose for there to be a bunch of chompy crushy things in the middle of a hallway. No! I mean we shouldn’t have to do this. It makes no logical sense! Why is this here! Well forget it! I’m not doing it! This episode was badly written! Whoever wrote this episode should die!” ~ Gwen Demarco / Sigourney Weaver
