Francesca Rea is an award winning textile designer and embroidery artist. She was born and raised in Ireland, taught to sew by her grandmother by making doll house furnishings. She studied textile design in Dundee, Scotland, then moved to Switzerland in 2024 with her mountain-enthusiast boyfriend.
She spends every single day making textile art or doing other creative pursuits. Everything is made in an as environmentally-conscious way as possible.
Embroidery is a skill passed on from woman to woman over centuries (and now it's for everyone!) FrancescaThreadsCo was started when she finally decided it was time to share her embroidery knowledge with the world.
