Chances are if you live in a rural area you might can get away with it..even in our SMALL city of 50K, the big colleges send snoops to every craft show to bust people using the college logo fabrics, or making things that are NOT licensed thru them. It gets crazy.

Last holiday season there was even a Disney rep. at the BIG show and he nabbed 19 violators! The fines are crazy AND they seized all the merchandise right then and there!

You just never know...it isn't like it was during the crafting hay-days of the 80'-90's! BAck then folks like Suzanne McNeil promoted crafting via their instruction books...now they publish the book on how to make things but want to Prohibit the sale of those items....for what...who knows...must be GREED...
So true !! 10 yrs ago our quilt group raised funds for the Texas A&M Mother's Club Scholarships by making Aggie dorm & lap quilts, for order and auctions. We sold the heck out of them ! We had more orders than we could handle ! Several that were auctioned raised more than $500-1,000 each. Today the school & manuf. would stop & fine us ! SAD :(
