The relevant quote from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy goes like this:

“But Mr Dent, the plans have been available in the local planning office for the last nine months.”

“Oh yes, well as soon as I heard I went straight round to see them, yesterday afternoon. You hadn’t exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them, had you? I mean, like actually telling anybody or anything.”

“But the plans were on display …”

“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”

“That’s the display department.”

“With a flashlight.”

“Ah, well the lights had probably gone.”

“So had the stairs.”

“But look, you found the notice didn’t you?”

“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard’.”

I'd totally spoon with it if I could.

Made for Moxie, because I love her.

I had this idea around the same time that I found out she was a Tiger Lillies fan as well, so it made sense to make it especially for her. The text is taken from this song.

I love taking a negative message and turning it into something beautiful. I think that's why I like the Tiger Lillies so much, because some of their songs do the same thing.

This is stitched on 28 count fabric and currently resides in an 8x10 frame.

Made by special request for a lovely couple.
