25 million stitches has made the news in Maine’s primary NBC affiliate. News Center Maine has a lovely segment on a sewing group from Southwest Harbor, Maine, located on Mount Desert Island. The group meets every Tuesday at the Southwest Harbor Public Library to sew. The report is a great example of how communal art can bring communities together and bring out the better angels of our nature.
As one stitcher says, “When you really get involved in the community … you realize that people to care, and people want to help.”
