I think Lugnet logo PATCHES are a great idea. I would be interested in a
couple.
At some point in the future, you may want to consider a small enamel pin too.
[certainly easier than t-shirts to carry around at an event :-) ,easy to mail.]
The Pin Peddlers does very nice custom pin work. It is used by many Quilt
Guilds, mine included.

Also, maybe the LUGs and LTC or someone in each could help in distribution
of Lugnet promo/fundraisng products for their geographic area. [no, i am

in various countries over a limited time period should be less involved and
consume less time than sending out a gazillion individual orders than
dribble in one by one...

FYI, I know the PITA (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jul-02, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
