Yes, I know there's a bit of clashing going on here. That's a good thing.
The white silk piece will be a wrap/cloth book for these samples....it's all explained in the video below from my original post about this project.
My thinking.....have the cover completely different to the content, it is after all a piece of embroidery in its own right.
I've had it all together today as I've been measuring for the pages which will be embellished too but probably in a way that is more in keeping with the actual samples.
