Did you know that the Farmingdale Quilters group meets at the Farmingdale Public Library? I didn't think so - but they do!
Here is a list of dates and the rooms' that they meet in for the rest of this year. The Farmingdale Quilters meets on Tuesday nights at 7:00pm on the following dates:
Tuesday, September 9th in Room D
Tuesday, October 14th in Room F

Here is a list of high quality, current, and very interesting quilting websites that you might want to visit next time you are on the web.
This first link goes to the ever popular website, Wikipedia. The link is for the 'Quilting' entry and is quite comprehensive and detailed. Click on this link for the section titled, 'Basics of Quilt Assembly'.
American Quilter's Society - links to American Quilter Magazine, Quilt Life Magazine, Quilt Shows, Fabric, Shop AQS, Authors, AQS Resources, Become a Member, My Quilt Place, Patterns & News, Free Newsletter, QuiltViews Blog and Book Sellers. Comprehensive, authoritative and great pictures of anything and everything related to quilting.
Fabric.com - buy quilting fabric cheap and easily. Includes sections for fabric that has Just Arrived, Quilting Fabric, Home Decor Fabric, Fashion Fabric, Notions & Fabric, Sales and much more.
Quilt in a Day - again, sections include Shop Online, Classroom, Television & Video, Eleanor & Co, Events, Retail Stores, Community, Customer Service, Contact Us, Email Newsletter, Quilt Shop Locator.
And now for something completely new: I did a YouTube search for 'quilting for beginners' - which yielded about 41,000 results and videos with titles like 'How to Sew a Block Quilt?', 'Quilting 101', 'How to Make Your First Quilt' and many, many, many more videos!
Finally, to get some possible ideas for your next project, click on this image search for 'quilting' from Google Images. There are dozens and dozens of pictures of quilts - most with links - so you can probably get instructions on how to create the perfect quilt.
Please note that these are just some of the dozens and dozens of quilting and quilting-related websites on the web. I am not endorsing any of these sites - the material is purely informational.
Enjoy the links and the quilting projects!
