This could mean a couple of things. Grace could have suffered trauma to her head causing her to sneeze blood, she could have a respiratory infection, or she could have a foreign body or tumor in her nose. I would recommend having her seen by a vet, as it's not normal to sneeze blood. Using a physical exam, routine blood tests, a urinalysis, and possibly x-rays, the vet can diagnose what caused her to sneeze blood, and can recommend a treatment for it.
