Here's What Our Members Are Saying.....
AOC is a continuous appliqué school teaching across the board techniques, introducing students to new methods, tools and projects. Instructor/Owner Sue Pelland makes you want to be a part of her group. Sue is a great instructor, kind, understanding and patient. Questions get answers and interaction with other classmates is always fun and informative. Challenges are there without intimidation.
~Margaret Smith, Dexter MI~
I was a die hard needle turn appliquér and so everything took forever to finish, if ever. With Sue’s method, quilt tops actually become finished quilts.
~Coleen Groenendaal, Phillipsburg NJ~

Let me take you on a journey
to Appliqué Excellence
"I'll be with you every step of the way on your path to successful appliqué!"
I've been quilting and making appliqué quilts since I was a kid! But I'm a bit impatient...I have too many quilts in my sketchbook to make them all by hand. I need a faster way to translate my ideas into fabric.
I designed the Leaves Galore Templates and the Hearts and More tools so quilters could tackle appliqué in a whole new way, Rotary Cut Fusible Appliqué!
I love teaching every aspect of quilting, but when it came to appliqué, I found many quilters were scared to try. I knew these same quilters were confident rotary cutters, so I started teaching with the templates and suddenly the "A" word became "Amazing, Easy, and Fun"!
Do you want to make fast, fun, and functional quilts that stand up to being loved? Maybe you aspire to make heirloom quilts for show! No matter what your goal is, I can get you the results you want.
I can get you "Ahead of the Curve" faster when you take online workshops with me. You'll save a bundle on workshops when you join the Platinum and Gold Leaf Levels, and meet a great group of quilters along the way!
Here's What Our Members Are Saying.....
I truly love the constant inspiration - new projects of all sizes and shapes. There's something for everyone. AOC and SPD are not demanding or competitive. I can watch the classes even if I can't sew during the class and still feel like a treasured member of the group. It has been such a stress reliever and source of happiness for me. Getting to sew with my beloved sister via Zoom is an incredible plus too!
~Bev Henion, Gouldsboro ME~
AOC is the best! You learn from a very talented teacher how to make beautiful quilts with less stress. Sue & Penny are always there to help if you have a problem. You will have loads of fun & all the info you need to make quilts that are worthy of a blue ribbon.
