&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#1D1D1D" face="Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Leslie is an art quilter and expert on thread painting. She’ll bring her whole cloth trunk show and lots of tips and tricks to embellish our quilts easily.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#1D1D1D" face="Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Her class is a beginner course on thread painting and will be on Friday, November 13, 2026. Class is $30 per student and materials kit is $25.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#1D1D1D" face="Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#1D1D1D" face="Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Students must have knowledge of free motion quilting functions on their machine, a free motion foot, open toe if possible, and thread cutting scissors. A few pre-wound bobbins in a neutral color is also recommended.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#1D1D1D" face="Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;See Paula at the guild meeting to sign up for this amazing class!

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#1D1D1D" face="Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Have you ever wanted to add artistic details to your quilting project?&lt;br&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;My thread painting class is the perfect introduction to endless possibilities in your personal Quilting and Creativity.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;em style=""&gt;Learning how to “paint” with thread using free motion techniques can provide you with creating beautiful effects that make your projects truly stand out.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Friendship Friday (Friday, November 20, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FRIENDSHIP FRIDAY&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;-- We meet on the third Friday of each month from 1-4 pm at the Petoskey Friendship Center. Please&amp;nbsp; join us. There is lots of room to work; new members to meet; lots of tips and sharing and always a fun demo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are always looking for folks to share a short demo. Please let Debbie Jarvis or Jan Gray know if you have something you would be willing to share. It may be something practiced, to you, but new to someone else, we’d love to see it!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Friendship Friday (Friday, February 19, 2027)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FRIENDSHIP FRIDAY&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;-- We meet on the third Friday of each month from 1-4 pm at the Petoskey Friendship Center. Please&amp;nbsp; join us. There is lots of room to work; new members to meet; lots of tips and sharing and always a fun demo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are always looking for folks to share a short demo. Please let Debbie Jarvis or Jan Gray know if you have something you would be willing to share. It may be something practiced, to you, but new to someone else, we’d love to see it!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Friendship Friday (Friday, August 20, 2027)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FRIENDSHIP FRIDAY&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;-- We meet on the third Friday of each month from 1-4 pm at the Petoskey Friendship Center. Please&amp;nbsp; join us. There is lots of room to work; new members to meet; lots of tips and sharing and always a fun demo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are always looking for folks to share a short demo. Please let Debbie Jarvis or Jan Gray know if you have something you would be willing to share. It may be something practiced, to you, but new to someone else, we’d love to see it!&lt;/p&gt;
