Can it be? We've finally arrived at week 4 of the January Stitchalong, and we're done! Or at least, I'm done - last week I walked you through possibilities for covering the backs of your letters and hanging them.
I chose to go with little felt loops that I secured with a tiny little x-stitch:
Here's some more:
As for "new" - I dangled those letters with white perle embroidery thread from the top row of letters:

Just 4 tacks, some ribbon, and some wallspace, and we're done!
On to your projects!
It looks like Aimee finished her family sampler using couched letters:

Kleas gave us a tantalizing preview of some of her couching - knowing her - it's going to be great!
And here's a cute peppermint-looking design by sisbabestitches:
Well, I hope you guys enjoyed the January Stitchalong! If you'd still like to give it a try, remember you can always join in - here's the free template - just add your pics to the pool and tag them "JanStitchalong".
Here's a list of the previous weeks:
Week 1: Pattern
Week 2: Couching 101
Week 3: Covering the backs and hanging
Is there anything you'd like to see in this year's stitchalongs? I'd love to hear it! :)
I love the way you couched those letters. What a great idea. I remember seeing your first post about how to do it and now seeing all these pics makes me want to start a project and try it! Thanks for the great idea!!
