Cross Stitch Patterns for Mother’s Day

April 10, 2025 by Sarah White

There are so many sweet and funny sentiments you can stitch up for Mother’s Day. Here’s one collection of sweet Mother’s Day cross stitch patterns; this post will have a little of the sweet and a little of the snarky, too. There’s all kinds of moms (and kids!) out there.

Mom deserves flowers that won’t wilt, so stitch up this little hoop of wildflowers from Bella Rosa Craft. It looks like it uses four colors and it fits perfectly in a 4-inch hoop, or you could use it as a greeting card.

My Lovely Embroidery NB has this pretty floral mom cross stitch pattern that uses some bolder colors if that suits your mom’s style (of course you can change up the colors if you’re more of a pastel person). This one is 45 by 46 stitches, which comes out to 3.21 by 3.29 inches, or 8.16 by 8.35 cm, on 14 count fabric and uses eight colors.

If you’re looking for something on the sweet side, there’s this Mother’s Day word art design from PatternsYO that lists all the reasons mothers are amazing. It uses six colors and measures 97 by 135 stitches. On 14 count fabric that’s 6.9 by 9.6 inches or 17.6 by 24.5 cm.

There’s also this sweet sentiment from New England Arts N Craft, from designer Ursula Michael. This one is printed and mailed to you, so order ahead if you want to make this one for this year. The design is 150 by 184 stitches, and it uses 16 colors. On 14 count fabric it is 10.7 by 13.1 inches, or 27.1 by 33.2 cm.

If your mom is a strong woman who made you a strong woman, stitch up this piece from Helens Crossing. This one is a cross stitch kit that includes the pattern, embroidery hoop, 14 count fabric, thread and a needle. It comes out to 6 inches or 15.24 cm, perfect for display in the hoop or you can frame it.

And if your relationship with your mom is more on the sarcastic side, acknowledge the challenge she had in raising you with this design from Oh My Stitches Shop. It looks great on black or any dark fabric, and uses 13 colors. It measures 132 by 130 stitches, which comes out to about 9.05 inches/23.59 cm square.

Designer Spotlight: Inkspire Studio Shops

Inkspire Studio Shops offers cross stitch patterns as well as tons of different stitch minders, scissor charms and thread organization tools. 

We’ll get to all that, but since we’re mostly here for the patterns, let’s start there. 

All of the patterns are in one category (called Inkspire Originals if you’re following along). There are a lot of book-themed projects and more of the designs are bookmarks than anything else. You’ll find trope bookmarks, a Reading Rainbow themed design, flowers and a super cute watercolor set bookmark, to name a few. 

And while the book themed projects are by far the most numerous, I wanted to share this super cute pile of vintage Pyrex style bowls. I love the colors on this one and it should be easy to stitch because so much of it is blocks (or bowls) of a single color. This one is only available as a printed pattern, but most of them are digital. 

It calls for six colors and comes out 5.6 by 6.9 inches, or 14.2 by 17.5 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric. 

In addition to the bookmarks and book themed projects you’ll find a few kitchen projects and some Halloween and Christmas designs as well. 

But what this shop is really about is needle minders, and there are tons of them, with all kinds of themes ranging from introverted and snarky to animal themes, food and beverages, retro designs and religious and inspiring needle minders. 

If you don’t know about needle minders, these are acrylic with magnets. You stick a magnet to the back of your work, add the needle minder to the front of the work, and then it holds your sewing needle when you’re not stitching. No need for piercing your fabric or losing your needle between stitching sessions. 

She also makes charms you can attach to your scissors (or use as a stitch marker if you’re a knitter or crocheter), inventory and project trackers and bags large and small to hold works in progress and other supplies. She’s also got a great collection of vintage cross stitch patterns and kits, so check out all the fun goodies at Inkspired Studio Shops.
