My silk scarf mending project is making good progress!

I found some hand-dyed silk thread that almost exactly matches the scarf. Picture shows the shimmering silk scarf in mauve, pink, inky purples, and orange-gold. Next to it is a mauve to orange-gold silk thread on an embroidery floss card.
I added an applique patch that pops against the scarf. The patch is a lavendar color against the mauve, pink, and orange-gold scarf silk fabric. The patch also covers the giant holes I'm mending.
I'll embroider a hellebore on the patch to stablize the hole and add a bit of art to it. Picture shows a sample hellebore embroidery pattern from the book "Plant Lady Embroidery" by Applemints, from Quarry Books.
