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 Patterns for Fall

Summer is the time for sweet treats, whether eating them or stitching them. This collection of patterns is full of designs that are good enough to eat. Almost.

This year of ice creams from Simone Balman Art is lots of fun, and you could also stitch up these treats individually if you’d rather. The full piece is 210 by 300 stitches, though it’s not full coverage. It uses 25 colors and comes out to 13.6 by 20.1 inches, or 34.5 by 51.2 cm, as shown on 14 count fabric.

These mini Popsicles from Mariana Gonclaves ART as super sweet and quick to stitch. These would also be a fun border to another summer project. The full design is 43 by 46 stitches, which is 3.1 by 3.3 inches, or 7.8 by 8.3 cm, on 14 count fabric.

Sam X Stitch has this fun sweet treat sampler, which again would be fun to stitch as individual pieces (maybe on napkins?). In all it calls for 18 colors and measures 153 by 153 stitches. That comes out to 10.93 inches or 27.75 cm on 14 count fabric.

Another great sampler is this one with ice cream and other sweet treats from Cute Patterns by Maria. At 119 by 132 stitches total, working the full pattern would be about 8.6 by 9.4 inches, or 22 by 24 cm on 14 count fabric, and it uses 33 colors. You can also stitch individual designs, which range in height from 35 to 45 stitches, and in width from 11 to 28.

This collection of four sundae patterns from Stichrovia would be fun to make for a kitchen or a teen’s room. Each pattern is around 40 by 50 stitches, so they should fit in a four or five inch hoop if worked on 14 count fabric.

Or stitch up one of the treats from Stitch Chart Studio‘s collection of seven ice cream cross stitch patterns. These range in size and in number of colors needed, but most would fit in a five or six in hoop (and one in a four inch hoop).
