Whiteley Creek Homestead

My friend, Debbie, and I each made a set of these friendly ghosts over thirty years ago. Each October we bring them out of storage and happily remember the time we spent together making them. The ghosts are made by cutting two identical pieces of white felt from each of three different pattern pieces. We hand embroidered the smile and eyebrows and glued black felt eyes in place. A little dab of white paint on each eye brings them to life and gives them character. Next we machine stitched the two identical pieces together around the edges, leaving the bottom open, then glued on a cat and bats cut from black felt. Insert a cardboard paper towel roll and toilet tissue rolls so they will stand upright. 

These are the original patterns that Deb and I used to make the felt ghosts. You could eliminate the bats and cat and they would be just as cute. That's what I would do if I made them again.
