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.

Toy Story Cross Stitch Patterns

I’m going to go ahead and admit that I totally missed Toy Story 4, so it took my by surprise when Toy Story 5 came out, but let’s celebrate with some Toy Story cross stitch patterns. 

This sweet design including Woody, Buzz and Jessie is from The Xstitch Shop, and they actually have a few different Toy Story options. This one says it is for intermediate stitches, probably because of the size and number of colors, but the sales page doesn’t say how big it is or how many colors it uses. It’s still cute, though!

If you’ve got a fan of Jessie in your household, this collection of Jessie themed icons is super cute to stitch. The design is from Mercury Stitches and it measures 97 by 144 stitches. that comes out to 6.9 by 10.3 inches, or 17.6 by 26.1 cm, and uses 11 colors. It has full and half cross stitches, as well as back stitching and French knots. 

Share the love of friendship with this sweet Woody and Buzz heart hands cross stitch pattern from Pixell Patterns. This design uses eight colors and is shown worked on 14 count fabric, but the notes don’t indicate how bit is is (based on a finished project photo, though, it looks pretty big). 

And for the Buzz Lightyear fans, of course we have to have a “To infinity and beyond” pattern, so here’s one from Silver Lake Stitches. This design is super cute on blue fabric, but use whatever you have. It measures 78 by 92 stitches, which comes out to 5.6 by 6.6 inches, or 14.2 by 16.7 cm, on 14 count fabric. It calls for 14 colors. 

Or if you want to go beyond the core three main character toys, check out this project from ThreeOOne Patterns, which includes our main toys as well as Bo Peep and her sheep, Bullseye the horse, the Slinky dog, Rex, Ham, the Potato Heads and an alien. The design is 310 by 80 stitches, which comes out to 21.14 by 3.5 inches, or 53.7 by 8.9 cm, when worked on 14 count fabric. It uses 65 colors. Or pick out your favorite characters to make a smaller project. 

All those characters and a few more are found on the mini Toy Story character sampler from Knotalot UK (only part of which is shown above). This one uses 31 colors and measures 134 by 108 stitches. It includes whole and fractional stitches, as well as back stitching. On 14 count fabric stitching the whole thing would make a project that’s 9.57 by 7.71 inches, or 24.31 by 19.59 cm.
