My next publicly stitched project will be Colors of Praise's "Women Watching Turtle." It's a 9 inch square design on 18 count. I like the unusual point of view and the ambiguity of the title. Is the turtle watching the woman or is she watching it?

I intend to limit the number of stitches I use for this piece, trying to emphasize the design instead of throwing every stitch in my books and thread in my considerable stash at it. To get an idea of what I am attempting, listen to Gay Ann Roger's discussion of how she approaches design on the Fiber Talk podcast. This will tell you where I plan to start and something about how I'll stitch that area.

Stay tuned to see how well I do!
