The weddingquilt is finished

I am really happy , because I have finished the wedding quilt.

The wedding is the 18th of July.

But we are going on vacation so it feels good that the quilt is done.

It is quilted on my Brother Innovis , free motion.

I occupied the kitchen table a couple of days.

It was the first time I quilted a spread this size (2,5yards x 2,5yards)

My dragonflies in yellow but they looks white on the picture

I really hope they will like this gift.

Giveaway time

Lynda B is having a giveaway at Bozzy´s Blog.

Crawling on the floor and using my gun.

I had a great saturday, a glass of wine and I was crawling on the floor!!!!

No it wasn´t that bad.
I and my DH were sandwiching the weddingquilt .

I have to clean out my sewing-room and then there were enough space for this big quilt.

Then I used my "bastinggun" for the first time.
It worked really good.
Many shots and hopefully easier to quilt than with safety pins.

A question about pictures on blogspot

I have a question about adding photos here on blogspot.

Sometimes you can click on the photo and it will be enhanced and sometimes not.
Why????

I upload the pictures in the same way every time.

At least I think that...........or am I just stupid.
