Description
Built on the shoulders of my mother's company (Calico 'N Things), CNT Pattern Company is very much a homegrown business. As sole proprietor, I'm one of those lucky kids who got the opportunity to return to the soft down of mother's wing. The knowledge she shares with me provides the base on which my company is standing. With over 25 years in the quilting business, mom has owned a quilt store, worked directly with Amish elders to distribute Amish quilts, and created Calico 'N Things, a home-based business for mail order quilting supplies -- which later grew to distributing wearable-art clothing patterns and fabric. After moving close enough to my home in Aspen to fully enjoy her grandchild, my mother encouraged me to produce patterns for her company. I had taught school, run my own school and written a book titled "Building Self-Esteem For Decision Making: A How-To Handbook for Parents and Educators of Young Learners - Ages 3-7" (now there's a mouthful). With a desire to build a little more self-esteem of my own, I decided to follow my mother's suggestion. This Web site is the latest chapter in building my business and exploring new opportunities. I hope you enjoy this site and our patterns, If you have a comment, suggestion or question, e-mail me . Sign up for our Sewing Newsletter to see what's new at CNT Pattern Company!
