Most of the sites I go to have already been mentioned but I'd also add that most of the manufacturers of fabric have a free patterns section. I may or may not use the fabric line but the patterns are great.

Maybe also print this post and give each a copy as you begin your talk. They will see how we are encouraging them to use the internet and be happy quilters like we are. It would be wonderful if they would also join the Quiltingboard so we could enjoy their friendship and knowledge as well. Please say hello for us.

A lot of our members are not too keen on the internet - that is why I am giving the talk - I find so much help, encouragement and information (not to mention bargains!) on here!!!
ANy ideas would be gratefully recieved.

Hi! My top 3 have been already mentioned. Here are 2 more:
1) www.thequiltshow.com There is a lot of information on the Daily Blog and the Quilt Gallery without becoming a paid member. A paid membership gives you access to the shows with Alex Anderson, Ricky Tims and guests who are well known in the quilting world.
2). www.quiltshops.com On this site, you can search for fabric and supplies from over 200 quilt shops. I didn't research each shop as the whether or not they will ship to Ireland. I use this site frequently when I'm looking for something specific, ie. red paisley.

The most valuable thing you can show them is how to search. It's "give a woman a link or teach her how to find anything." Sort of like men and that fish thing except women won't sit in a boat and drink beer all day. LOL
