A Halloween Masterpiece
Just Nan's 20 Haunted Windows Pentagon Ball is a counted thread artwork ball inspired by an antique. Every turn of the ball reveals a pentagon shape. Twenty triangular haunted windows outlined in gothic black form the ball. The windows feature 4 Jacks, 4 Ghosts, 4 Spiders, 4 Skells plus a Black Cat, Witch, Mummy and Monster.
The 20 windows are stitched on 5 pieces of 32 Ccount Purple linen using DMC floss. There are 4 window graphs for each piece of linen. The windows are accented with sparkling beads and a striped pumpkin bead in each corner. Complete assembly instructions and photos are included. (Stitching on 5 pieces is easier than stitching all 20 triangles on one piece of linen.)
When assembled, each center point of a pentagon is highlighted with an embossed orange sequin and black bead. There are 12 centers. For a final touch, Just Nan has provided a satin ghost and satin bat embellishment to pin in place wherever it suits you. This is sure to be a treasured heirloom.
