WOW, all my grandparents came from Italy and not one of them quilted !!!
I got the impression that it wasn't big there. My one Gram did embroidery but that's it. I'm the only quilter in my large Italian family :D

I know we have a board member from Milan but that is quite a ways from Sorrento. Don't know if I would get much quilting done if I lived in such a beautiful part of the world. :P
Anyway I just did a quick google search using quilt shops in Sorrento Italy and got a hit to this page. Maybe she can seek out the shops near her for guidance and quilting friends.

thanks for your reply, I will forward the information to her and I will also ask her to join this board, I'm sure she'll get help as it's such a great place to exchange and members are all willing to give some of their free time to help someone
thanks again
thanks again

Sorrento is one of the most beautiful places in the world but keep in mind that the winter season even though it's not cold like here, it's a rainy season with long humid nights. It rains almost every day. Therefore it's always nice to have a hobby and quilting is a very good choice.
