age-old needle art of ribbon work. From deep and vivid hues to shimmering
pastels, there’s ribbon to coordinate with any décor, accessory, or
garment. In this gorgeous book, expert designer Helen Gibb brings her
passion for heirloom ribbon work to 27 projects including brooches,
handbags, hats and hat pins, albums, baskets, boxes, pincushions,
footstools, wall hangings, and much more.

how-tos of basic ribbon flower construction. Then the techniques are
combined to create projects that range from practical and pretty to elegant
and exquisite.

Pink Ribbon Quilts: A Book
Because of Breast Cancer
Now that author Mimi Dietrich
has five cancer-free years behind her, she has combined her quilt-making
talents and her experience with breast cancer to create an inspiring book of
quilt projects especially for women-and the people who love them-struggling
with the disease. Quilters of all skill levels can create a quilt to
brighten a day in the life of a breast-cancer patient, survivor, or
care-giver, and join Mimi and thousands of other women in the enduring fight
to find a cure. 11 step-by-step projects include a comfort pillow,
friendship quilts, and large raffle quilts-all using a pink-ribbon theme or
pink fabric. Mimi's personal story reveals how quilting helped in her
recovery, and shares her tips on what friends of women with breast cancer
can do to help. A portion of the proceeds from Pink Ribbon Quilts
will benefit the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
The
Artful Ribbon : Beauties in Bloom
When viewing the magnificent
floral forms that Candace Kling creates, it's sometimes hard to believe that
they are actually
pleated, gathered, ruched, and twisted ribbons--not the
real thing. Her gorgeous ribbon flowers appear to be extremely intricate and
complicated, but her extensive directions and diagrams take the mystery out
of recreating everything from roses to pansies to poppies to daffodils.
After nearly two decades of researching antique ribbon work, her knowledge
of vintage pieces is evident in much of her work and in her finely tuned
sense of color. The many photos of vintage ribbon-work flowers, not to
mention those of her own artistry, are themselves worth the price of the
book.
