T Stands for Gluten Free Recipe

Our Niece is getting married later this month and a Bridal Shower was thrown for her. Guests were asked to bring a gluten-free recipe. K has Celiac disease so she can't eat foods with gluten (wheat, rye, barley, and triticale) I figured she knows what her triggers are and has recipes so of, course I went my own way.

I made a

Coptic stitch recipe card booklet. The book was made using mixed media paper measuring 3 in. x 5 in., about the size of a standard recipe card. The covers were cut from kitchen-themed, scrapbook paper, and I added a tea/coffee cup sticker. (My ticket for T Day)

The fun thing about binding single pages is you get to use different colored thread for each sewing station. When I asked what the Bride's favorite color is, I was told colors like a bruise (dark blue, purple) I had variegated thread in shades of blue, purple, green. Like a faded bruise 😺

My recipe was a quote On Marriage

It might have been a cheesy design, but I substituted a heart for all the O's. The writing was done with a Micron Pigma pen and color added using Towbow Dual Markers

...Love one another but

make no a bond of 

Love.

Let it rather be a moving sea between the

shores of your souls

Fill each other's cup, 

but drink not from one cup.

Give one another of

your bread but eat not

from the same loaf.

Sing and dance, but let

each one of you be alone

Even as the strings of

a lute are alone though

they quiver with the

same music...
