BERNE, Ind. -- DRG, leading publisher of special-interest magazines and books, is partnering in the effort to promote breast cancer awareness through a new quilting pattern book called Quilters Think Pink. The book features 16 quilt patterns, mostly in pink, inviting needlecrafters to quilt for the cure.

DRG will donate a portion of the proceeds from Quilters Think Pink to breast cancer research, dedicating the book to all those who have faced the difficult challenges of breast cancer. The book retails for $14.95 and is available online from the DRG wholesale Web site at DRGWholesale.com and the Clotilde catalog, available on the Web at Clotilde.com.

All 16 projects in Quilters Think Pink are designed to be given as gifts. Although most of the designs use fabrics in pink, the book also includes a chart of colors to make the patterns adaptable to different kinds of cancer and other illnesses.

Projects include a ribbons of hope quilt, a ribbons of hope journal cover, a variety of pink prayer shawls and a selection of bags and holders.
