Felt Fellows for Halloween


     These retro Jack-O-Lanterns were fun to make (and small enough to be easily portable for moments snatched from lunch hour). Each was easy to cut and assemble with a few basic embroidery stitches, including a blanket stitch for the outline and french knots for the eyes. I remember working with felt as a child - simple projects and ornaments - so this enterprise was nostalgic and somewhat comforting. Pop even admired the tallest pumpkin's smile, pictured below.
