Maybelle in Stitches

Maybelle cant sew. But when she finds an unfinished quilt in the attic of her mothers house she gets the crazy idea to complete it. At first its just a way to fill the lonely nights while her husband staff sergeant Holden Kanzinzki is away fighting in World War II.Yet when Maybelle discovers that the quilt is made from scraps of material that can be traced back through her family heritage the project is suddenly much more important. Then word comes that Holden is missing in action and with little else to do Maybelle clings to the quilt as much as to the hope that her husband is still alive. As neighborhood friends gather around Maybelle to help her through the unknown days and nights ahead it is the quilt that becomes a symbol of her unflagging belief that Holden will returnto her to their home and to their quilt-covered bed.
