Thanks again everyone!
I just couldn't help myself with this project...
Well, this one is mine of course...
Necessary items...
I start with a big piece of freezer paper. Freezer paper has a shiny side and a dull side. The shiny side is the side that sticks to your fabric. On the dull side of the paper, draw out your entire design. (Do not reverse...or add seam allowances on this step. This drawing should be the finished size of the pieces you want to applique.)Make sure you label the pieces if they are appliqued in a certain order, as most of my patterns are.
Next, cut out the whole image in one piece. This picture has an example of the cut out cow with all the pieces labeled and details drawn on. This piece will become a guide for placement, as well as the pattern pieces. Iron your piece onto the background fabric in the exact place you want the finished piece to be. 
Cut out your appliques 1/4" bigger than your freezer paper pattern. Allow a very generous seam allowance on the bottom of your grass....or anything that will go to the edge of your piece. I do this to make sure nothing is too short should I need to trim more off the top than the bottom.
When appliquing straight lines, I find this technique helpful.
This will prepare your piece so that it follows the line of the paper. 
Onto placement... Use the pattern to guesstimate your grass position. You may tape your pattern to a window, or use a light box to place your piece exactly if you wish, but for this project, I was happy with a guesstimate.
Start sewing at the dot, not at the fabric edge. You don't want to risk cutting your threads when trimming your piece. This picture is a good example of why you have the generous seam allowance to match the fabric edge. When you trim, the extra sometimes comes in very handy!
This piece is somewhat prepared, so the stitch is self explainitory. Try to grab the fabric as close to where the thread comes out as possible. A straight stitch will pull the fabric under just enough to hide the stitch, a slanted stitch will be more visible, and pull your fabric in the direction of the slant.
This is the needle turn method I use most often on my pieces. With the tip of your needle, grab the top of the seam allowance. With a downward motion, pull the seam allowance under to match your freezer paper edge. Use your index finger and your thumb to pinch the fabric keeping it in place until you stitch it down. 
Keep working with your fabric in this fashion until it exactly matches your paper pattern. Then sew it down. Be mindful of your stitch keeping it as straight as you can, don't slant your thread.
No more pulling, cutting, wetting....and all that other stuff the other methods require! Just pull it off and you are finished!
When adding additional pieces, especially those lying under others, I use the bigger piece to place it. The freezer paper will keep sticking over and over again... up to about 10 times, sometimes more if you push it! Use this to your advantage and iron your pieces into place. 
For most of my projects, I cut out the entire piece as a whole and iron it into place. After which I cut out the pieces in order and use the big piece like a puzzle to place the pieces back when they are prepared. 
I use the iron a lot in the placement process. Lifting away and positioning a piece, then ironing the larger piece back down .
I use a basting stitch in the seam allowance of the sides that I am not turning under to keep them from shifting while appliquing pieces on top of it.
As you go, it is helpful to make these little tick marks so that you can line up your paper pattern with the finished edges of your applique.
I use this puzzle like technique to applique my little characters and objects to my quilts. I find this is the easiest method for me. I draw my embroidery lines on the paper pattern as well. After I am finished will the applique, I cut out these lines, iron it back onto my applique, and trace within the cutout to mark my embroidery lines. I will do a tutorial on this in the future...
Take a look at the most adorable little cushions my mother has made up!
Mother bought this dish in Quartzite just a few weeks ago. 
And... the pie pincushion of course with more cupcakes, 
.
The sprinkles on this one are so cute! Mom, you are wonderful!
Last summer, I finished this little wallhanging for Australian Homespun Magazine.
