Connie is a teacher and designer who lives in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Although she didn’t even learn to sew until she was over 30 years old, Connie used her background in marketing and education to develop Sew Wonderful Dreams, a pattern design company.
Fifteen years ago the company focused on craft patterns, while today the emphasis is on quilting and education.
About her company she says: “We believe the best marketing tool we have is to educate. Everyone can learn but the way we learn is variable. Our classes are designed to help you learn in a way that will be most beneficial to you.”
