Our June meeting was as busy as ever and we badgered away at our individual projects with plenty of conversation and sharing of ideas as usual

Ruth's gorgeous Jigsaw pieces based on zentangles - one is in hand, and one is in machine embroidery
 |
| Janet's Trees are ethereal and three dimensional. This jigsaw is almost complete; just requires the shape to be cut out and edged. Well done Janet, it is beautiful |
Alma's butterflies, are appliquéd paper worked on top of more fabric paper completed on the Colouricious workshop. Notice the tiny floral beads.
Pat's embroidered section from the Artist Hundertwasser, with hand made beads in air drying clay, really compliments her design work. All four are going to look stunning in our forthcoming exhibition at Bilston Gallery in October 2013. Well done ladies.

**We are all working diligently now as our exhibition draws close at Bilston Gallery in October. We will be sharing the space with Wolverhampton Embroiderers' Guild. Our group projects will depict the Jigsaw designs on paper and then on fabric. We are still debating how to hang the fabric Jigsaws but we have lots of ideas. The pieces may interlock or may have background showing through to allow the individuality of each piece - we shall see and make a group decision. I am really proud of all the group efforts and cannot wait to see the finished exhibition. Journals may also be exhibited if space allows**
CLOSING DATE FOR JIGSAW EMBROIDERIES IS THE AUGUST MEETING WHICH IS A GARDEN PARTY - date to be confirmed after discussion at July's meeting
