Sunday Stitching

As I can't make up my mind what to do with the rainbow charms, and as I was 'stuck' in the sewing room as the embroidery machine chuntered through the pre-school embroideries, I decided yesterday I would chop into a different charm pack.

I was given an Its A Hoot charm pack a few years ago, but felt the designs were so varied they needed to be broken up a bit.
So I cut a whole load of extra charm squares from a plain pink, and cut all the It's A Hoot squares into rectangles

And joined them into strips (no design wall, but a rail with clips will do)

I'm happy with the arrangements, so now I can pin A to N row markers onto the strips to keep them in the right order,  and I'll press the seams next time the iron is on. 

Happy Sunday Stitching - hope you had a good weekend too

    Those strips are looking great! Adding that white has really brightened up those charms and brought them to life!
