Welcome to the Grande Design Website! This site has been designed to introduce you to the world of Ribbon Appliqué through my quilts, provide tips and techniques, and assist you in selecting patterns and notions for purchase.

Please start with a tour of the Gallery. This section is newly revised and now contains some new additions. Take a look at “Angels” a lovely wall hanging designed especially for our dear friends recent addition to their family; Sydney Grace. Angels is a new pattern that features two angels holding a garland of flowers. “Seasons” is a new quilt of four trees and four wreaths around a center sun block. My daughter Allyson selected the poetry for the quilt ~ I am sure you will love it as much as I do.

The single patterns have been replaced with a more complete Collection of Patterns in the form of a book. The Collections include the full pattern, complete directions and now additional information on the stitches, close up pictures of the blocks and information on the borders and quilts. The ribbon selection has also been updated. The ribbons are now available in expanded packages to reduce your cost and increase the variety of ribbons you can easily purchase.

I will continue to update the site as new patterns are developed, new resources found, or new ideas come to light.
