Hello folks, I’m Francesca Jane Gonzalez, a hand embroidery enthusiast who loves turning thread and fabric into vibrant, joyful designs.

A Visual Way to Explore My Blog

If you’re looking for something specific on my website, here’s a slightly unusual tip: I create Pinterest pins linked to every blog post I publish. This makes it easy to browse my content visually and get a quick glimpse of all my tutorials and patterns. I’m still figuring out ways to make searching my blog directly easier, so in the meantime, this might be a fun way to explore. Let me know in the pin comments if this is a helpful idea—or a totally silly one!
