Hi! Welcome from central Florida. Check out what the library has - they usually have some sort of selection. I am sure there are video how-tos on You-tube. There are many ways to applique and you will either find one that you like or do different ways depending on the project. I haven't looked but you could use the Search on this board to see if there are "tutes" (tutorials) on applique. Applique is much easier than piecing in my opinion.
