Everything I thought of has been mentioned except alot of the American Quilting magazines have free patterns for blocks and quilts.. go to their magazine web sites.
Also why not have block of the month using one of the web sites mentioned ... ?? I have a question for you ... since you are in Ireland do you have alot quilt shops there?
I love hearing about other countries and their quilters and what they are doing...what type of quilting they like? Piecing or applique? hand or machine quilting? What are the trends there?
Have fun at your meeting and please let all the Irish quilters know they have fellow quilters around the world !!

I'm self taught from internet and books, so don't forget book purchases.
The Book Depository is cheaper than Amazon, and ships worldwide free. Have bought all my quilting books there.

I use equilter.com for fabric - yes they ship all over the world and have 10s of thousands of fabrics.

Quiltville.com and quilterscache.com for great free patterns.

They can also google the fabric makers such as Moda, Michael Miller, etc. and each site has great info and free patterns and pictures of their fabrics.

For those who really seem to be open to what you are presenting, you might show them online Fabric Shop Hops. It's great practice in navigating websites, lets you check out all kinds of fabrics, and you get a pattern and a chance to win something if you find enough bunnies!

Taking into consideration that we are not including this board for #1, which is my #1, the others would be
www.thousandsofbolts.com for price of fabric and are very quick.
http://www.quilterscache.com/QuiltBlocksGalore.html for alot of free block patterns.
http://tutorials.missouriquiltco.com/ for tutorials.
