I'm showing this photo to (maybe) create some ideas.
You could use a photo of your grandmother, perhaps in a sepia tone, as part of the background, with other very subtle scrapbooking papers, then mount the fine work on the top. Use a some hat pins or antique buttons for interest. An old brooch maybe? Pages from an old sewing/crochet book? I would use acid/ligon free papers for preservation. Be sure your fine work is clean before mounting, Soiled spots have a tendency to get darker.
If you don't want to hang it on a wall, maybe you could attach it to legs for a side table or stand it on a shelf upright.
