✔6. Continue making progress with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks. 

✒7. Paper piece an average of two blocks per day for the 2025 Temperature quilt. I have January pieced and some of February.

✔8. Figure out what to do for the next book club quilt.

✖9. Complete the August bonus lesson and the September embroidery lesson. Since I'm still unable to sit in my chair, I didn't work on this assignment. I'm taking it off my list until I can spend time in my chair!

✔10. Continue with the knee PT. The last two sessions of PT took me four days to sort of recover. For now, I'm giving PT a break. I can do the exercises, walk and swim. I will have weekly acupuncture appointments and a monthly massage. Let's see if I have more extension and less pain at the end of next month. My flexibility is good now; but, I'm thinking it could be a little better.
