Sixth graders and Mrs. Thorpe’s first graders at Creekside Elementary recently gathered to listen to a story together. The session included a custom quilt designed to match the book The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt.
The quilt was created by Kathy Rash, a grandmother and quilter, who originally purchased the Halloween picture book for her daughter’s classroom a few years ago. The book tells the story of a little ghost who feels different because he is too heavy to fly like his friends. To match the theme, Rash created a quilt by selecting fabrics and cutting out the eyes, even using a neighborhood child to ensure the face was accurate.
