Spring Word Art Cross Stitch Patterns

Last year I shared some fun Easter word art cross stitch patterns with you, but if you don’t want to be quite that specific so you can leave your stitching on display longer, here are some options for spring word art cross stitch patterns.

I love everything Tiny Modernist does, and this sweet spring stitchalong is no exception. It was done in 2022 so all the parts are ready for you to download. While the photo shows a line about Easter, there’s also an option in the chart to change it to bird nests if you don’t celebrate Easter or live in the part of the world where Easter happens in the fall.

The full design includes 11 colors and has three charts to stitch from. It is 143 by 190 stitches and comes out to 10.5 by 14 inches (or 26.6 by 35.5 cm) on 14 count fabric.

If you want more of an Easter feeling without the design totally being about Easter, check out this egg-shaped, pastel design from Teajeigh Designs on Etsy. This is a pretty easy design, but it is large, measuring 199 by 243 stitches, which is 14.25 by 17.5 inches/36 by 44.5 centimeters on 14 count fabric. If you use 24 count it gets it down to 8.25 by 10.25 inches (21 by 25.5 cm), which is still pretty good sized.

Or if you like your word art a little more straightforward, perhaps I can interest you in the spring design from Amanda G Cross Stitch. This one only has the word spring surrounded by a bunch of beautiful and colorful spring flowers, which looks like it would be a lot of fun to stitch. It measures 196 by 98 stitches, or 14 by 7 inches/35.5 by 17.78 cm on 14 count fabric. It uses 36 colors, which is a lot but the effect is so pretty I think it’s probably worth it.

I recently wrote a post on my blog about using a stitchable journal cover and I mentioned that you can make your own stitched cover for a journal by using perforated paper instead of buying a stitchable notebook.

I have to admit, though, that I’ve never used perforated paper for cross stitch myself. I definitely want to because I think it would be great to use for bookmarks that don’t fray and have a little more stability, for example.

Sirious Stitches has us covered, though, because they did a deep dive into all things perforated cross stitch pattern that is worth the time to read through.

The post mentions that a lot of people use perforated paper for cross stitch because they buy an ornament kit that uses it. I’ve never seen these (or at least never noticed that that is what they were) but it’s a great idea to make small projects like ornaments in this way. It also talks about the pros and cons of using cross stitch paper, where to buy it and how to make your own.

Making it yourself is an awesome idea because if you already have a pattern in mind you can just make holes in your paper where you need stitches to be and leave the rest solid. This would be ideal for making greeting cards, for example.

In addition to kits and sheets you can often find the paper pre-cut into different shapes you can use to make your own designs, no real pattern required.

The post also includes tips and advice for how to stitch on perforated paper that you’ll want to check out before you try your first project.

I’m super intrigued by the idea of using perforated paper for cross stitch and will probably be trying it out soon. Have you used it before? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
