Samples for an upcoming wedding reception.

I'm looking for a book that will hold single sheets of samples. This is a blizzard or crown book, developed by Hedi Kyle. It does spring open in that fanned out position if the covers aren't held together somehow. I thought it would be easy to slip the pages in the book. But it's too fiddly to fold, I want something quicker and easy.

I got this from the same vintage bazaar I got the Daisy winder from www.flickr.com/photos/wychbury/3756348578/ and totally forgot to photograph it!

It's an amazing collection of samples, albeit very dirty but I may attempt to breathe some life into them at some point (If I can bear to wash away their history that is!)

My first fabric postcards - trying some techniques. I prefer the satin stitch border on the right but the lighter stitching on the left.
