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.

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.
