I don't think I've shown this to you even oncesince I started it back in May! (And I promised to show it in June.) How did that happen?The quote is from Wuthering Heights. Catherine says it about Heathcliff before she marries Linton. A lot of people consider this story a romance, mostly because they've seen the movie and not read the book. But there are those who find abuse equal to love, and I don't think anything I say on a crafting blog is going to change their minds about that. Anyway, since the dude and I read the book similarly, we can appreciate the irony of the quote used here as a celebration of our own marriage, which lacks revenge and abuse and wuthering heights. The design is Our Souls by Midsummer Night Designs,
Sigh. You are fortunate to have a kindred soul who will read what you read. Love the quote.
ReplyDeleteLovely stitching Nikki. Great design.

I read it at school and was frustrated by the pair of them, stropping about the moors ruining the Lintons' lives.
ReplyDeleteA shared sentiment for my husband and I would more likely be a Terry Pratchett quote!
It does have great scenery, you can't deny that!
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely pattern! I had not watched the movie when I read the book. I always believed it was a romantic story, so I found reading it a bit heartbreaking.
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is lovely!
