I had tossed around a question on what is called the humming bird block. Reason being it's a truly adorable block. Where I found it was in a book by Penny Haren ... pieced applique. She uses the freezer paper templates to creat this block and it truly is a very easy block to make. But I don't mind trying to make the easy part which is making the freezer paper template, but it's trying to take the freezer paper back out after you are stitiching the appliqued pieces together on the main block. I have tried to comprehend the directions on removing the templates but for some reason my mind just doesn't get it. Does anyone use these techniques that could possibly help me simplify even further this technique. I would be happy to send the technique notes to see if it makes more sense to those of you who can actually make these .. with much thanks regardless, clueless in freezer paper stuff. : :?:
