Hello and Welcome. I am very excited to invite you to experience the updated Grande Design website. I have continued to work in the tradition of Baltimore Album Quilts with a twist – Ribbon Appliqué - the addition of luscious ribbons. The use of Ribbon Embroidery brings depth of color and a number of techniques that provide details and quick results.

2011 has started off in fine form. I was thrilled this spring to be a guest on The Quilt Show with Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims. Alex is a long time friend and it was wonderful to spend the time with her and meet Ricky. What a delight they both are and I especially appreciate their dedication to quilting. I also had the pleasure of teaching at the Elly Sienkiewicz Appliqué Academy. We started the first block of “Bella Baltimore”. Locally, I can be found at Eddies Quilting Bee and Judies Sewing Center.

The site has been updated with pictures, lots and lots of pictures. I hope you enjoy browsing the site and expand your appliqué with ribbon~

Enjoy
