Two ghost characters side by side, and the western Halloween crossover here is genuinely fun. On the left theres a ghost wearing a wide-brim yellow cowboy hat with gold star accents and a rope lasso looped around. On the right theres the cow ghost, same round white ghost shape but with tan and brown cow-print spots across the body, two small curved horns, and a braided rope tail. Between them sits a chunky green cactus with a spider web strung across it, and a pair of black bat silhouettes float above the whole scene.
This is the most complex design in this set. 8 colour stops, density at 1,042, and stitch counts from 18,508 at the 3 inch size up to 37,268 at the 5.5 inch. Im not gonna pretend thats a quick run, but the result looks like something you'd pay alot more for in a ready-made product. Four sizes available, topping out at 5.5 inches wide and 6.5 inches tall. Hoop a solid cutaway stabiliser and dont skip the topping on anything with any surface texture at all.
So this one was made for kids Halloween costumes but a customer bought it for her daughters bedroom quilt last year and said it was the panel everyone asked about at family Thanksgiving. Makes sense given that western and farm themes play year round with kids. The 8 colour build means youll have a few more thread changes than usual but each stop adds something visible, nothing is decorative filler.
Run it on fleece, heavy cotton, or quilting cotton. Back with a firm stabiliser because at 37,000 stitches the fabric will want to shift mid-hoop. Use an applique topping on fleece for the cactus section, the green fill at high density needs a controlled surface. Avoid canvas thinner than 10 oz for the full size, it will pucker under that stitch load.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Kids Halloween costumes and trick or treat bagsAt the 4 inch size this fits centred on a kids sweatshirt chest without overlapping the neckline seam.
- Western themed birthday party favoursOn a flat canvas treat bag the two-character composition gives enough visual detail that no other decoration is needed.
- Toddler Halloween sweatshirts and onesiesThe western angle makes this work for non-Halloween birthday parties too, specifically farm or cowboy themes in spring and summer.
- Childrens bedroom quilt focal blockPiece the 5.5 inch version into a quilt block with gingham and denim fabrics for a kids bedroom focal point that lasts past October.
- Farm and ranch themed nursery decorFor a nursery with a farm theme the cow ghost is charming enough to use year round if you pair it with matching gingham trim.
- Autumn craft fair kids items vendor stockAt craft fairs this is the kind of design kids point at first, which tends to drive the purchase for the parent standing next to them.
- Personalised kids backpack patchesAdd a childs name below the design in a rounded satin font for a personalised backpack patch that they'll actually want to wear.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
