Spring Word Art Cross Stitch Patterns

by

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.

Designer Spotlight: Bella Rose Craft

The designs from Bella Rose Craft look like they would be good for beginner cross stitchers and others who like relatively simple and small designs that are quick to finish for gifts or decor.

I’ll mention up front that this Etsy shop based in Indiana has no organization whatsoever. There are two categories: kits and patterns. So it’s a bit of a treasure hunt to find what you might be interested in.

As mentioned there are lots of minis and small looking projects with simple lines and minimal colors. There are holiday projects, animals, summer motifs like palm trees and beach umbrellas, a bathtub with a rubber duck, some text based designs (like hoppy spring and merry and bright), some biblical and religious designs, flowers, bunting and more.

On a site like this its difficult to pick something representative of the whole page, but I liked this bees and beehive design, so it’s the one I picked to share. This one illustrates a lot of my general points about the patterns from this shop. It’s small (2.79 by 2.57 inches, or about 7 by 6.5 cm on 14 count fabric), it looks like it’s all whole cross stitches and probably uses only six colors, and a couple of colors are only used for a handful of stitches.

Of the 300 plus cross stitch patterns available as of this writing, 140 are also available as cross stitch kits. These would be great to give as gifts if you’re trying to get someone interested in cross stitching. The kits include the pattern, fabric and floss, and you can choose to have it include a needle or not. The hoop is not included but the patterns explain what kind of hoop is shown if you want to get one to match.

So if you’re looking for cute, beginner friendly patterns for yourself or you’re trying to be a crafty enabler for someone else, check out Bella Rose Craft on Etsy.
