I loved Sharon's first book, PIECELIQUE. And now, she and daughter Cristy, have gone a step further with PIECY BY PIECE. Absolutely worth the money invested and a great source of information from an award winning quilter! This is not a technique that can be learned and mastered in a short time, but I appreciate all the support Sharon offers in her books. Highly recommend it to those who want to go where the award winners are leading us quilters! -Carol E. Kries

Achieve the fabulous look of hand appliqué by machine with Sharon Schamber’s latest book, written in collaboration with her daughter Cristy Fincher. The authors offer three innovative methods for turned-edge appliqué, raw-edge appliqué, and paperless paper piecing. After years of experimenting with different products, Sharon has a list of tools that help her produce stunning quilts. Of particular interest is the complete pattern for Sharon’s award-winning quilt Scarlet Serenade, and a photo gallery of Sharon’s many other quilts.
