During my primary years, my mother sent me to an all girls school. One of the syllabus that we had was 'sewing'. We were taught all the basic embroidery stitches which also included cross stitch. We made simple projects like tote bag, pillow case and even a skirt.
We learned the basic embroidery when we had to make the pillow case in Standard 5. The photo above was part of the pillow case made more than 25 years ago !!! and it still looks flawless .... The writing of the word "Anne" was designed by me ... and the embroidery was actually done by ..errrrrr... my mother. She had to keep it simple to give the impression it was sewn by a 10 year old .. haha.
My mother was such an angel to have kept that piece of the pillow case for remembrance ... (I suspect the other part of the pillow case was turned into a 'kain buruk lap periuk' for her kitchen)
Though the embroidery of my name was spelled "Anne", I want to stress here that my name should be addressed and written as "ANN" .. not "ANNE". You see back in those days ... some silly friends of mine kept calling me "ANNE" as "Annneyy". ... Gilalah kan ingat aku pakai sari pi sekolah !
I have liver and feelings you know !!!! HUH !
