<span style="font-family: Arial;">And of course, there was show and tell. This beautiful Christmas quilt was made by Heather. Isn't it gorgeous?</span><br />

Lisa has been awarded many prizes for her quilts in Australian and International quilt shows and also teaches across Australia, New Zealand, the USA, UK, Europe and South Africa. She was awarded the 2010 Jewel Pearce Patterson Scholarship for Quilting Teachers by the International Quilt Association, Houston USA.<br />
<br />
Lisa's topic is entitled - ‘'Leap and the net will appear'. Sometimes great opportunities occur but we are afraid to take that leap due to natural fear of rejection or humiliation”. Lisa will talk about how taking that leap often leads to even more exciting opportunities.<br />
<br />
Further details of Lisa's talk can be found at the following web page;<br />

<div id="yui_3_15_0_1_1442972734228_913">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hurry up and book!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 2016 we'll be cruising away on the P&O Pacific Pearl to Moreton Island. For more info about the route, see </span><a href="http://www.pocruises.com.au/findacruise/destinations/pages/australia-moreton-island-port.aspx" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div id="yui_3_15_0_1_1442972734228_915">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have a maximum of 150 places for SCQuilters and we've already had 88 confirmed bookings.. Over 100 EOIs have gone out.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_15_0_1_1442972734228_919">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How do I do it?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First, of course, you have to be a SCQuilter to participate. See the info about the group at the top of the page.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then you need the EOI. The info for that is in the files of the SCQuilter Yahoogroup.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div id="yui_3_15_0_1_1442972734228_920">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">EOI needs to be sent in and once payment is confirmed, we'll send you the booking information. To be part of our group, you MUST book through our travel agent and not P&O directly. This is most important - you won't be included in any events if you are not part of our booking group. </span></div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then you can join our Facebook group and Retreat Yahoogroup for chatting about Retreat matters and getting to know your fellow Retreaters.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So time to put on your deck shoes and pack the champagne!</span></div>
