I love a bit of quote embroidery. It started when I saw DoubleSpeak‘s delightful embroidered slips on Etsy (mine is orange and features the words “yours til Niagara falls”). But when I saw this I fell in love. For the non-Whedonites amongst you, it’s a Wash quote from the very first episode of Firefly in which pilot Wash is playing with his action figure dinosaurs when he should be flying the ship… trust me, it’s a magic moment!
