As a traveling quilt teacher, I travel for as little as a day at a time and as much as 37 days at a time (only once; never again). The average, though, is 4-5 days away. My last trip had me away from home for 7 days. This was on top of 3 weeks away and 2 weeks of medical treatment. To say I was missing my quilting time is an extreme understatement!
My first day at home, I decided that extreme quilt therapy was in order. I grabbed one of my "waiting to be quilted" Cutie tops and started ribbon candy-ing as if my life (and sanity) depended upon it:
I finished ribbon candy-ing my Squared Away Cutie Quilt. This quilt was a delight from start to finish because PennyRose Coming Up Roses fabrics (affiliate link*) by Jillily Studio are just the happiest fabrics ever! And Jill makes me just as happy in person.
Even though I ribbon-candied an entire quilt, I was still jittery. Clearly I needed morecowbell ribbon candy:
Fortunately I had an unquilted Sweet Tooth Cutie Quilt top just lying around, as one does. I'm still ribbon candy-ing, but I have no idea if this quilt will be enough. Just how many ribbon candied quilts will it take to feel like I'm me again, do you think?
Are you a ribbon candy fan? I teach ribbon candy in one of my Craftsy classes (50% off link HERE**).

I have to admit that it is a very gratifying quilting technique! Are you having trouble seeing the black on black? I do like how it looks.
