Product Description
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.

Pink Ribbon Quilts A Book Because of Breast Cancer November 27, 2008
Like the author, Mimi Dietrich I am a survivor. I had breast cancer three years ago and when I found this book I "had to have it" of course. I wanted to make a pink ribbon quilt for my self and I have one started, but I have made some to give away. I have given them to survivors and ladies still fighting and the wonderful ladies who get out and walk and raise money for the cure. If you know anyone who is fighting cancer, a survivor, or one of our angels (the ones who support us when we need them most) you can find a quilt in here for them.
Love this book. January 13, 2007

The ladies where I work have this book and after seeing it so did I. I am selecting my fabrics now. Nice ideas, good cause. There probably are not too many of us that don't know someone who has been touched by breast cancer. I want to give mine to a dear friend. Good book to have and use.

Great book to cheer, support and grieve when breast cancer strikes. The patterns and ideas are great. There is something for everyone. I originally borrowed this book from a friend, but then decided it is one of the books I have to have for my collection.
Breast Cancer Survivor loves Pink Ribbon Quilts February 17, 2004

Before I developed breast cancer, I saw an episode of Simply Quilts on HGTV featuring the author of this book and was SO inspired by it. While recovering from surgery and radiation therapy in 2001, I made several Pink Ribbon blocks with a pattern from Pink Ribbon Quilts and gave to breast cancer survivors. I'm sure in the near future, I'll be tackling one of the beautiful quilts patterns in the book. I would highly recommend this book to any quilter and/or breast cancer survivor.

The title attracted my attention because one of my stitching friends had recently lost her battle with breast cancer. But after leafing through the book I realized I had to add it to my growing collection of quilt books because it had so many wonderful designs, all made easy by speed cutting techniques and easy-to-read diagrams. The designs are a combination of traditional patches (with fresh colorways) and some original designs. All skill levels are represented, so the projects can challenge the experienced or provide quick yet exquisite results for the beginner.The fact that a portion of the proceeds of this book go to breast cancer research should mitigate any guilt you might feel about adding yet ANOTHER book to your collection. But this book will not duplicate any other you own -- it stands on its own merits both as a quilting book and as a dispenser of helpful advice to those who are affected by breast cancer (either their own or that of a friend or loved one).
