When I did bowling towels, I found a picture of a bowling pin in a coloring book or something like that and just made appliques and put them on the towels. It's easier than finding embroidery patterns. I had a book with sports patterns in it one time, andit had patterns for all the ball sports, plus golf, bowling, etc. I think I finally gave it away as I don't do that kind of work any more. If you look, you can find all kinds of applique patterns in the most unlikely places.
