old embroideries use and memory

I found my oldest self sewn shirt, in 6th or 7th grade], which i also embroidered , around the Boat neck and the front sides of the side slits ,, i cut of the embroidered parts and used the unembroidered parts for some smaller bags. At the time we sewed it materials were scarce, and i sewed it from an old coarse linen sack. One embroidered corner i gave to a good friend who is a fiberartist, hoping she will incoprporate it into one of her works, I still have one corner and the neck opening embroidered parts which i will incoporate into one of my works ,, I only had 3 basic colored threads at the time,,, blue, red and yellow . i didn`t like to embroider the pattern given to us thas i came up with form of embroidering each color one time in a sort of an Mirror image of E with it`s back to the other E than change color to the next pair , eventually this created a pattern were the colors went diagonally ,,, it still looks pleasing to the eye now ,,
