Needlework Post Frustration

Working on the final needlework pillow post again. It has halted at least waiting for additional pictures. I know I've taken some detailed ones I can't find. And no, they are not on my camera. I probably can't recreate them now. grrrrr

So I thought I would show you a couple of the ones that won't be included in the post.

First is checking to see how much I was able to square up the canvas before trimming it.

Second is an edge of the trimmed canvas and the strips trimmed off. It was impossible to use the worked border because the needlework wouldn't return to true square. Note that some of the worked border has become seam allowance. That's okay too.
