Eat Dirt and Die, Trash.

Eat Dirt and Die Trash

My second cross stitching project from Cross Stitch The Golden Girls! (Please see the Thank you for being a friend post to read all about the first project.)

I love this quote so much because it is just SO Blanche. In this episode (Joust Between Friends, Season 2 Episode 9) Dorothy has been working at the museum with Blanche for a little while. Dorothy is helping their boss, Mr Allen, plan a banquet for Blanche as a thank you for all her hard work, but Blanche thinks Dorothy is trying to steal her job because she keeps talking to Mr Allen in private. Blanche totally over reacts, quits her job, and leaves the office in a huff. The next time they see each other Dorothy tries to say hello, but Blanche, in one of her most savage insults, fires off: "Eat dirt and die, trash." in a way only Blanche could. In the end, Sophia tells Blanche that the banquet is in her honor and she's been an idiot about all of this. This is a classic episode and I am so pleased that it was in the cross stitching book!

I modified the colors a bit from the original pattern because I didn't have the purple it called for handy, but I'm really pleased with how it came out!

I completely rearranged my office nook recently and had a bunch of new blank wall space. I decorated it with a bunch of art that had been stashed away, just waiting for a good home, and wanted to include this piece as well. So I made a little cardboard and wine cork frame for it. On to the next piece!
