For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, we’re getting pretty close to spring but it still feels far off for a lot of us who still have some cold weather to get through.
Stitching up some flowers before we can see them outside is a nice way to add a little color to late winter. These projects are perfect for framing, or you can add the smaller designs to aprons, napkins, or tea towels, stitch them and mount them on cards, or other uses.
I always think of daffodils first when I think of spring flowers. They’re just so cheerful and a bright spot in early spring days. This free pattern from Cross Stitch Club uses 26 colors and is 160 by 400 stitches. That’s about 11.4 by 28.5 inches on 14 count fabric.
Tulips are another favorite flower that comes up in the spring. This gorgeous design features tulips in a wheelbarrow and has a watercolor feel to it. The design is 185 by 181 stitches, or 13.2 by 12.9 inches on 14 count fabric. You can grab the pattern from Laser Arts Designs on Etsy.
This pretty pattern from DMC is called Spring Roses, and it was designed by Dana Batho. As shown it uses 20 colors but you could also stitch the flowers individually or without the branches and leaves among them if you don’t like that look or want something a little more minimalist.
And if you’re looking for a bunch of different flowers — spring flowers or otherwise — that you can stitch as a giant sampler or add to all sorts of projects throughout the year, check out this collection of 48 flowers from So Easy PDF on Etsy. This is a digital download of a pattern originally released in the 1990s. There are all sorts of flowers to stitch here including daffodils, hyacinths, roses, bleeding hearts, hibiscus and more. Great for cross stitching flowers throughout the year.
