Begin quilting this project

My February goals were:

✔1.Catch up with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks.

✔2. Document layering and basting the Positively top that I made in 2023.

✔3. Write a tutorial about how to pin baste a quilt.

✔4. Get the "Love Makes A Family" project to a top.

✒5. Catch up with the 2025 Temperature blocks--I'm contemplating a block size change. --I did change the block. I managed to sew a few blocks. These will be time consuming so it is going to take me awhile to catch up.

✖6. Figure out a legend for the 2024 Temperature quilt.--I thought about it; but, didn't do more than that. I plan to take this project off the list until I finish some of the projects that I have in process.

✔7. Cut out the Santa tree skirt.

✔8. Continue progressing with clue nine of the Old Town mystery. --After the post, I stitched the center together and added the first border. Two more pieced borders remain to be stitched before it is a completed top.

✔9. Piece the leftover batting chunks together.

✖10. Complete the August bonus lesson and the September embroidery lesson.--I still have issues with sitting so trying to work on this project is uncomfortable. I will try again next month. When I have better range of motion with my knee, I expect to make progress. 

✒11. Continue with the PT for my knee. --I had hoped that
I'd be a couple weeks away from ending my PT regime. We had a snow day a couple weeks ago. Getting home was a trek. The normal 25 minute drive took me two and a half hours. Sitting in the same position for so long set my knee recovery back a couple months. I'm progressing again; but, progress is slow! Friday, I was told that I could, on my own, extend my knee to neutral and flex it to 120 degrees. That is the cut loose parameters for leaving PT. Unfortunately, I am experiencing a lot of pain and stiffness. . . again! I was told it is nerve related. I'm doing some specific exercises to target the nerve bundles. Fingers crossed that the exercises will make a difference!

✔12. Continue quilting my

2. Continue quilting my 2021 Temperature quilt.

5. Continue making progress on the Old Town mystery.
