Trying to applique

Applique is new to me. Months ago Judy demo'ed needle turn applique to our guild, and  I started it, but never progressed.
So I decided to learn more systematically. Here are hearts cut out for the purpose of learning 4 techniques:
  • needle turn (the dark red heart that's already started
  • back-basted applique
  • freezer paper (the one showing the paper and the turned edge)
  • foundation (sew to a foundation like interfacing or dryer sheet, etc)
However, I'm barely getting a start. After deciding to learn these techniques, I got sick, and now I'm involved in a long-distance land sale, which requires more time than I prefer, and work is heating up between now and mid-December. So much for planned free, relaxing time. Anyway, it's still on my active list, and I expect to make some progress. I'll keep you posted.
