Recently, I added some free Sports Motif patterns which included baseball, basketball, football, and soccer ball patterns. Debbie commented, "Problem is that my favorite sport is hockey (love to watch it – afraid to try it)." I promised to rectify the lack of "hockey love" in the collection.

So, I have. I added a simple crossed sticks and puck design for the hockey fans out there. You can stitch the chart with the floss colors of your choice.

Make the sticks a bit rounder and shorter, and you’ll have a pattern for shinty lovers too! (Though the main reason I know what a shinty stick looks like is because the quilting group I belong to uses a shinty club hall for our meetings!)
Woo hoo! These are great! They’d make a cute badge to wear on my jerseys when I go out to watch the Charlotte Checkers games. Thanks, Connie!
Marion – I can honestly say, I never heard of shinty. I spent some time reading about it though and found it a little scary. But, so is hockey.
Debbie – glad you like it. When you stitch it, I’d love to see a photo of your badge.
It is not shinty – it is shinny because the players play on their shins with little short sticks, also sold a souvenir sticks.
I am trying to transfer the hockey stick pattern to my 14 count aida clothe and maybe shrink the size for a n ornament. how is that done
You would want to use a fabric with a smaller count instead of trying to shrink the pattern on 14-count.
