Only your spouse can petition his mother, but he needs to naturalize first.

Best way to handle this is for your husband to naturalize (become a citizen) and then petition for his mother. If done correctly and there are no issues causing delay, your mother-in-law should be here by end of 2016 or early 2017. It generally takes 4-5 months to complete the naturalization process and about 9-12 months to complete the consular processing and entry of a parent of a citizen.
