[CREATE] Pre-LGM 2011 activities

[Susan Spencer]

The workshop would **not** be developed for a boring tshirt. :-D
I'm working on getting the equipment required for 15 participants.
It's a short list of supplies for each person.
Trying to get 4 or 5 sewing machines, too.
Maybe a big plotter to print patterns on!
I use an old 36" roll-feed plotter.
Maybe HP has something new they want to demo for a few days.

I'll also keep the 30-minute presentation in the queue,
but I shall abide by the decisions of the LGM demi-gods & goddesses
regarding the presenters & schedule.

- Susan
