Goal number two on my October list was to embroider the legend for Rita's Temperature quilt. I used two strand of black DMC embroidery floss and the back stitch to work the numbers. Because I am early in my recovery from my left knee joint replacement surgery, getting this far took me much longer than I had expected.

While I still have the snow, rain, sun days to add; I feel great that I was able to complete this much! The finished quilt will be going to live with Rita's husband, Brad.
I'm still unable to sit in a straight back chair for more than a few minutes so machine sewing is not an activity I can do. I also am unable to stand so cutting fabric isn't in my wheelhouse either. I'm not able to walk far with the walker either as the muscles tighten uncomfortably. This rehabilitation is becoming harder than the first one. I will get there. . . .eventually.
Linking to Alycia at Finished or Not Friday and Frédérique at Patchwork and Quilts.

Terry, I'm so sorry that your rehab is going slower than you had hoped. Sending you good thoughts! The legend you're making for your friend's quilt is wonderful! Will this quilt go back to her family when it's finished?
Yes you will and healing takes time. Don't push yourself any harder than feels good and the things you do accomplish helps the process. Love the idea for a legend for a temperature quilt -- I've got to make a note of that as I haven't done one of those quilts yet.
Cool legend!
I'm sorry for you Terry, not be able to move or sit like you want to is not funny. I hope you will fully recover. Take it easy, and take care. Lovely temperature legend! Thank you so much for sharing and linking up. Hugs
