Stephanie Brandenburg and Frond Design Studios has become known for iconic and beautiful flowers. It was inspiring for Stephanie to see the way her fans connected with each bloom in their own personal way. She began to learn from the excellent sewists around her and found clues and details in beautiful vintage quilts at her mother’s store where she worked for twenty years. Stephanie received her Bachelor of Arts degree in History in 1994, long before she realized her appreciation for the rich history in quilts. This fusion of art and history has continued to push the boundaries of Stephanie’s art and design.
