About the Author, From the Publisher

Connie Kauffman lives in Nappanee, Indiana, with her husband and has two older children. Connie was a special education teacher until her children were born when she became a stay-at-home mom. As the children grew, Connie had more time to sew and explore quilting. Connie's mother taught her to sew as a child, but Connie didn't begin quilting until she had children of her own. "Piecefully Amish" is her first quilting book. Connie has over 100 quilts published in other books and magazines including her most recent publication, "24 Sunbonnet Sue & Overall Sam Quilt Blocks" and "24 Kids' Quilt Blocks", and "The Scrap Savers Solution Book."
