Cross Stitching After 20+ Years
The last piece of cross stitch I did was a school project apron which I hated so much because I was too fat to fit into the standard material provided. Earlier there was a fabric pencil case (of course all my stationary could fit in).
This warm up pattern is from a generous blogger with the help of stitching friends, is in the process of archiving her aunt's collection. I keep missing stitches, used 3 strands instead of 2, ended up looking coarse and haste work. Even the ends of threads are too long at the back. Stitches shown at the back not in the order that I would like. I am trying on a second piece with 2 strands and hopefully, less mistakes and better back finishing. I have a bad habit of keeping the back viewable.

Malaysia Flag
In conjunction with Malaysia's 50th National Day on 30th August, I have created our national flag cross stitch pattern to share with fellow stitchers. I have the original larger image, email to me at agnestan05(at)hotmail(dot)com if you would like to have.
