| The Castle |
Beautiful: the day, the setting, and especially the couple.The big event of the week was my niece's wedding. It was held at Stronghold Camp & Retreat Center in Oregon, Illinois. That's about 100 miles from home. Amelia went to camp there 20 years ago and fell in love with the Castle. (It was built in the late 1920's by the publisher of the Chicago Daily News as a weekend getaway. The Blackhawk Presbytery acquired it in the early 1960s. They have a variety of accommodations for summer camp and for year-round retreats.)

It was a small wedding (the groom's side had more family members). Left: my nephew (25) and my sister (mother of the bride).
Ms. A wore a 1940's-era lace dress. She donned the vintage mink stole for the reception. (They are WWII reenactors, both history buffs.)
Bohemian Wedding Wheels is the quilt I made for them.
Congratulations on the new addition to your family. That quilt looks gorgeous! Hopefully they will send you a picture of the quilt in its new home.
