Cross Stitch Patterns for Mom

It turns out I’ve shared a lot of Mother’s Day related cross stitch patterns through the years, so this post will serve to share some of the older roundups I’ve done as well as some new patterns I found this year.

You can stitch up some hearts for Mother’s Day, keep your projects sweet or make them snarky or funny if your relationship with your mom is like that.

These are going to fall in the sweet category. For example this one from Red Bear Design on Etsy that keeps it short and sweet with a “love you mom.” The pastel words and flowers are pretty but you can change up the colors as you like to suit mom’s decor. This one uses 14 count fabric and fits in an 8-inch hoop, and you can also buy it as a kit if you’d rather.

This World’s Greatest Mom chart from Creating Works of Love is technically a corner to corner crochet pattern, but the stitches are square so you can use it for cross stitch as well. The pattern is available from LoveCrafts.

Give your mum (or mom) a bunch of flowers with this colorful hoop art project from DMC. It uses 10 colors of thread and you could pretty easily change the u to an o if you need to. The pattern is free when you sign up for their newsletters.

Let everyone know your mom is the best mom ever with this easy cross stitch pattern from Helen’s Crossing on Etsy. It uses two colors and is made with full stitches and backstitch for the lettering. At 48 by 48 stitches, it comes out to 3.43 by 3.43 inches or 8.71 by 8.71 cm, perfect for using as a card or putting in a little hoop.

Crafting is My Hobby has a couple of cute free charts for Mother’s Day, including this I heart mom design (the other says thank you mom). These sweet designs both use two colors and are easy for new stitchers.

Or if you just want to say Happy Mother’s Day in stitches, grab this pattern from Etsy seller Lucky Star Stitches. This colorful script is eye catching and fun to stitch. It uses 11 colors all in full stitches and fits in a 7-inch hoop when stitched on 14 count fabric.

Check out these flower Embroidery kits we found on Amazon, perfect for the flower-loving MOM.

Cross Stitch Hearts for Mother's Day

My husband is a D&D player from way back and still does role playing with his friends most weekends. There are lots of great D&D cross stitch patterns, but somehow the ones that caught my eye this time have a theme of being about the D&D classes or involving dice (or both).

I love this collection of the D&D classes done as tarot cards. These would be so fun to stitch up for all the people in your party, or make the full set as one big wall hanging for the game room. There are 16 patterns total (just a few are shown here) and each one just uses three colors. The designs are from GlitchStitchAU.

This set kind of reminds me of astrological signs, though I can’t really say why. This set of 16 designs from White Raven Patterns is color coordinated so it sort of makes a rainbow if you stitch all of them. The dungeon master one is more colorful. Each one uses five or six colors and fits in a 10-inch hoop.

Combining character classes and dice we get this set of 14 designs from Stitch it Picasso. Each one includes the class name and a die with a number on it, as well as some images that make sense for that class (the bard has a lute and music notes, for example). Each design is around 90 by 90 stitches and they use 13 to 19 colors each, depending on the design.

Or you can make patches that look like dice with this D20 dice bundle from Non Player Creation. The patches are inspired by the four seasons, but you could change up the colors to suit your campaign setting if you like. They are 31 by 35 stitches and use between nine and 12 colors depending on the season.

And speaking of D20s, this little dragon might be protecting your dice or cursing them, it’s hard to tell. It’s kind of cute, though! The design is from Cross Stitch Wow and measures 80 by 95 stitches. It fits in an 8-inch hoop and uses 16 colors.
