Once a month, we have a late start at school

for the teacher to catch up on stuff.

That means I have time to do the morning chores

and take Shad out for a ride.

I used to need PawPaw's help to saddle up Shadrach,

but I can do it myself now.

PawPaw says horses forgive, but don't forget.

And they especially remember bad stuff.

So it's really important to make putting on his saddle a good experience.

After he's been groomed, I start with his saddle pad.

It needs to cover the horse's withers.

That's the name for the ridge between the shoulder blades.

Before I put on the saddle, the right stirrup

goes over the horn.

The girth, which the name for the big strap,

then folds over.

PawPaw says to always stand on the left side

and then gently lower it onto his back.

The thing weighs about 30 pounds.

It's like lifting a toddler.

After that, I swing the girth down and under his belly,

just behind his front legs.

Then I cinch the strap through the ring.

The strap needs to be tight enough to stay on

and not slip around, but not so tight he can't breathe.

Who knew an attic could store so much treasure?

Oh, here you go.

Every household needs a fire extinguisher.

Oh no, we can't take yours.

It's a spare, James, ours is under the kitchen sink.

Thanks.

Uh, it's expired.

It's not a piece of fruit.

Well, the gauge indicates the pressure,

so if the needle falls below the green zone,

that means you need to replace your extinguisher.

Oh, hogwash.

Ooh, TV trays!

You are gonna love these.

Okay.

Sorry I'm late.

I'm still getting organized to move to the new house.

It's all right. Is it finished?

Mostly. Oh, gosh, are you sick?

- I just have allergies. - Did you take the, um--

Got it right here.

Took it twice.

You need to stay hydrated.

Liquid clears the mucus in your nasal passages

and it allows you to breathe better.

Look, my stomach's not feeling well either.

I'm getting you a hot tea.

Are you working on Sunday's sermon?

I started to and then I stopped.

You're doing too much.

Tell me how I can help.

I...

Well, actually...

There are bills that need to be paid

and there's these bank statements that need to be filed

and need to be deposited.

- The newsletter. - I'm on it.

Go home and get some rest.

No, no, no, no, it's okay.

I have to be there for the one-year anniversary

of the church.

It's a cause for celebration.

I'm sure you'll find lots of wonderful things to say.

Right now, I just need to concentrate on feeling better

so I can concentrate on the sermon.

Go home.

Go on. I'll call you if anything important comes up.

Go, come on.

- Shoo. - Thank you.

Oh, goodness.

Thank you so much.

Do you two have much homework?

We both got a writing assignment,

but it's not due 'til Monday.

Did you read the same book? Is it some kind of report?

No, it's an essay.

Everyone has to write about a person who changed their life.

Five-hundred words or more.

Oh, I like that.

- Who are you gonna write about? - I'm still deciding.

What about you, Anna?

I was thinking Shadrach.

Oh, but Anna...

Shadrach's a horse.

So what? I bet Mrs. Parada won't mind.

Sweetheart, you can't turn every assignment

into an homage to Shadrach.

What's the difference, a horse or a person?

It's writing about an important influence.

Anna, I taught at that school.

I never liked it when a student didn't follow instructions.

What's the word "homage" meaning?

We're back. How's it all going?

Oh, we just have a few more dozen boxes to go through up there.

What's all this?

All great stuff for the new house.

Howdy, chickens.

I thought I'd come over and help with the move.

Oh, good timing, we're just cleaning out the attic.

Maybe you could use some of this stuff?

Have you been inside her house?

You couldn't fit a box of paper clips in there.

No offense taken.

I am proud to admit that I'm a committed archivist.

- What's that mean? - World-class collector.

She has some beautiful glass figurines.

And a whole room filled with oil cans.

That particular collection is a priceless reminder

of a time when machines needed oil.

Hey, we used DW-40 on my wheelchair.

Woo, then you understand.

All right, put me to work, I'm here to help.

Oh, yeah. If you see anything you want,

just take it, it's yours.

Anything.

Hey, I just wanted to see how you were doing.

Well, this cold is turning into...

into more like a cough and then there's this stomach bug

that goes along with it.

So it's not allergies.

No.

I think you should see a doctor.

No, I can sleep it off.

Well, I've gotta leave here soon, we're starting the move.

Oh, right, right.

You do whichever you have to do.

Okay, well, get some rest and feel better.

- Bye. -Bye.

I think Dad's really happy the new place is ready.

Aren't you?

I mean, not really.

Shadrach's here.

You know, we're just down the road.

- Yeah, but... - What?

It all just feels so final now.

What do you mean?

Living here and not in the city.

There's still people and places I miss.

Not me. And you can't have Shadrach and live in a high rise.

Plenty of people have horses in stables

not that far from the city.

Those people have a lot of money.

Anna, you're confusing me.

You don't wanna live down the road, but you miss the city?

I just wish I could have it all.

I wish a lot of things.

You're right, Michael. I'm sorry.

Truce?

Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo.

What is this?

Is this supposed to be snot?

Oh, it's like he has a permanent cold.

You gave it to me.

Oh, well, I guess you didn't care much for it

since you had it up in the attic.

Well, I haven't been knitting in ages.

It just was in storage.

Oh, look how pretty, pretty.

Rose made that years ago.

Oh, I didn't know Rose was into quilting.

She had a lot of hobbies.

Some lasted longer than others.

She put a lot of effort into this, but never finished.

Well, she only has...

- 40 squares left. - Forty?

Mmm-hmm. Unless five times eight is something else.

Let's see what.

Oh, here they are.

Here, 40 squares. Look at, more than 40.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.

Forty's an important spiritual number.

I had a party at a roller rink in Fort Collins

when I turned 40.

- I don't remember that. - Hmm.

You took sick and couldn't come.

I always thought you were trying to get out of it.

The number 40 symbolizes... fulfillment, completion.

Not when it comes to Rose and her quilting.

I didn't know Mom could sew.

I mean, besides putting on a button.

She made a lot of her own clothes when she was your age.

She even made a set of curtains once.

Is sewing hard?

Well, not once you learn how to use the machine.

But your mom did a lot of this quilt by hand.

- It's so much work. -Yeah.

It's a shame she quit just before she finished.

Oh, who's quitting?

Mom did, a long time ago.

- She made this thing. -Hmm...

People think that quilting is about using leftover scraps

of fabric, but that is not true.

It's had a lot more intention than that.

Gilly's right.

Did Mom pick out all this stuff?

She did. I went to Fort Collins with her and she bought

yards of fabric and even the inside part of the quilt,

that's called the batting.

But why would someone cut up cloth

just to sew it back together?

Are you walking down memory lane?

Oh, we're cleaning out your parents' attic.

We're finding great things for the new house.

And in the process, organizing up there, which was a project

on my to-do list.

For a decade.

I remember this quilt.

It's really nice, Mom.

Who'd you make it for?

I don't remember.

It's been a long day, Pastor's sick.

I'm changing and then I'll help get dinner started.

I read that one of the reasons

that old quilts are considered valuable

is because they contain history.

People put messages in the patches

just by the way they sew them together.

They celebrate weddings and also times of sorrow.

Whatever Mom was celebrating

back when she was a teenager came to an end,

and I wonder why.

What are you reading there?

You doing your homework?

Not really.

I'm just writing in my journal about the move.

Oh, I'm gonna miss you when you leave us.

We'll still see you every day.

And you'll see me first thing in the morning when I come to see Shad.

And at least once a week for dinner.

Nope, no, that's for your mom.

The packing reminds me of when your mom

first moved away to college.

Were you sad back then?

Well, I was happy for your mom, of course.

But yeah, sad for us that she was leaving.

Moving is always hard.

Mom, you lived in the same house for 40 years,

so I hardly think you're an expert on moving.

Honey, I didn't say I was.

I'm sorry.

I guess the quilt just got me feeling like a quitter.

You've never been a quitter.

Come on.

Oh, good morning, sweetheart.

Morning, Gram.

Look at that.

Someone added a new row.

- Really? - Yeah.

This wasn't there last night.

Maybe your mom decided to get back to it.

- Get back to what? - Well, we were just admiring your work.

What work?

The new patches on the quilt.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Well, somebody added new pieces last night.

If it wasn't Mom,

maybe it was Dad.

So you can sew?

What is that, a trick question?

He doesn't, trust me.

What's all the hubbub about?

Last night there were 40 patches, now there's 36.

Well, you looked on the floor? We got a lot going on in here since the move.

No, no, they're not missing.

Someone sewed them onto the quilt.

So what's the problem?

We don't know who did it.

Well, don't look at me.

What's going on?

We got ourselves a Secret Santa.

More like a secret seamstress.

Michael, do you know anything about who finished your mom's quilt?

If I did it, I'd want the credit

and it would take me, like, a month.

Mom, you didn't do it?

I was so tired last night, I fell asleep when my head hit the pillow.

This feels like an Agatha Christie.

- Who's that? - A writer.

Of murder mysteries.

- I'm a Stephen King fan. - Who isn't?

Well, we're not investigating a murder.

No, thankfully.

So is this some sort of a game to get us interested

- in crafting? - Well, it's working.

I've never talked so much about quilt making in my life.

I'm gonna go out and see Shad.

And I'm gonna get my first cup of coffee.

- Grab me one, too. -All right.

I'll be out front.

You swear, Rose?

Please, Mom, enough.

For the record, she didn't swear.

Anna, no phone at the table.

I'm not even at the table.

Hey, do what your mom says.

Yeah.

I was only checking the weather.

Mm-hmm.

Gram, you seem the most interested.

So was it you?

I swear on all that is holy in this world,

I didn't do it.

Okay, I believe you.

Uh, all right, here.

- Eat your breakfast. - Oh.

They don't believe me.

-Oh, you've never told a lie your entire life. - Right?

Oh, but that makes you the perfect suspect.

Thanks.

You know, this whole quilt thing is fun

especially since there's been so much tension here since the move.

Oh, emotions have been running high.

Well, you have intrigue, mystery.

You have a real-life game of Clue right under your rooftop.

Colonel Mustard was my favorite, who was yours?

Oh, Gilly, who can remember those things?

Whoo, I just love board games.

I think it's Anna. I'm gonna keep my eye on her.

I also like Mrs. Peacock and Reverend Green.

You know it was a very good move to throw a clergy member

into the board game mix.

Rose said that Pastor's not feeling great

and his big sermon on Sunday is happening.

It's the anniversary of the churches joining up.

Huh, I'm not surprised.

He's a member of the three Ps.

Pastor, pretzel makers, and preschooler parents.

- Always sick. - Pretzel makers?

How did they make the list?

Oh, I just needed another P category.

But the pastor part is real.

They shake hands, go to hospitals,

and always being a spokesperson for God in the body of a mere mortal.

Well, hopefully Pastor shakes it off and he's okay on Sunday.

Well, maybe he's not really sick. Maybe he's faking it

so he can get out of doing the big sermon.

Gilly, that's an awful thing to say.

Ah, I'm sorry.

Sometimes I speak before I think. Hmm?

I don't wanna interrupt moving but Shadrach's latch is broken.

Yeah, latch broke in half.

So he can get out?

Yeah, I'll have to order something from Harold

but I don't have time to get down there

until after we get y'all settled in the new place.

Is Shadrach safe in here with the latch like that?

We'll move him over to the other stall.

Okay. Come on, Shad. Let's go.

It's the same barn. Same hay.

Kevin's right here.

Kevin.

Oh, Kevin, really?

That's a unique smell.

That's why I like horses better than goats.

I heard Shadrach's lock needs to be replaced.

Yeah, he's not very happy about moving.

He only moved 20 feet.

Tell him that. Horses are creatures of habit.

So are people.

Michael, do you know who sewed the quilt?

No. Do you?

No. And it wasn't me.

- Mm-hmm. - I mean it.

Okay, I believe you.

There's something I can't stop thinking about.

Mom finishes everything.

Can you think of one time she ever quit a project?

Not really.

It's a part of who she is.

She's organized and focused.

- Which is a good thing. - Yeah.

She didn't tell us who she was making the quilt for.

And I seriously doubt she forgot.

What's your point?

That quilt was something bigger than a hobby project.

It meant something.

Maybe I--I guess...

Come on.

You scared me.

- Sorry. - You snuck up on me.

Please keep your voice down. I did not sneak up on you.

I'm just trying not to wake people up.

It happened again.

New patches added.

So you're the one who did it.

- No. - Anna, please.

The rest of the house is asleep.

Not anymore.

More-- more of the quilt's been finished.

- Yeah. - So, if it's not us,

it must be my dad.

Let's just say your father could sew, which he can't,

see these little stitches, even with his glasses on

PawPaw's eyesight's not good enough.

Could it be Michael?

No.

And that only leaves one person.

James.

Dad.

Really?

Thank you.

We figured out... it's he.

- Really? How do you know? - Process of elimination.

Did you confront him?

No. He denied it.

So what's your next step?

I figure he has one more night until the quilt's done.

Might as well let him finish.

Well, why do you think he's doing it?

Mm, maybe he knows Rose quit the quilt

the summer after her senior year in high school.

She was gonna be bringing it with her to college.

Okay.

Well, we went for an orientation meeting

to the university that August.

I remember it was a few weeks

just before she was to leave for college.

When she got back home, she quit sewing.

She put the quilt in a box and brought it up to the attic.

So, she was making the quilt for herself

- to take to college. - She was. For her dorm.

She ended up ordering something called "a bed in a bag."

Sheets, comforter, it all matched, solid gray.

She paid for it with her own money.

But why?

You know, I think after the visit

she thought the quilts made her look too country.

What's wrong with country?

Nothing.

But I think she just wanted to leave this place behind.

And she did. She moved to the big city.

But she's back now.

And that's...

You know, I think I better be going home.

Little Bitsy will be ready for her walk.

So call me if you need me.

Okay. Bye-bye.

What's up with her?

Did you want a cookie?

Yeah, uh...

Take two.

You've been working hard.

Horses try and let you know

exactly what they're feeling.

He's saying he doesn't like it here.

That's why he won't eat?

Swishing his tail, that means he's irritated.

He's pawing the ground.

That's frustration.

Showing us the white in his eyes,

that's anger or even fear.

All because we moved him to a new stall?

Let's put him back in his old home.

I'll do my best to get the old stall down working.

Thanks, PawPaw.

I'll take you out to the pasture.

Our last night with my grandparents

felt so different from the first night we spent here.

That was only a few months ago.

But now this feels like home.

I'm turning in.

You're the last one up.

So, you'll get the lights?

I will.

PawPaw's been snoring for an hour.

Well, that's one thing you won't miss when you move away.

No, I will.

I'm used to it now.

Oh, good night, love.

Goodnight, Gram.

- Don't stay up too late. - I won't.

Finally.

- I thought you were asleep. - I've been waiting for you.

- Is everyone in bed? - Yup.

Okay, we're going to set a trap.

Ew, for mice?

No, the midnight quilter.

Is that what we're calling the person now?

Well, tomorrow we'll have an actual name.

So what do I do?

Okay, so you're gonna take a piece of thread

and tape it to the wall and onto the door.

And when the door opens, the thread breaks.

Where'd you come up with that?

Dr. Google.

There's lots of techniques, bits of paper,

Scotch tape, all kinds of things.

I feel like catching the person with a piece of thread

is a cool connection to the crime.

Well, I mean, this isn't a crime.

You know what I mean.

Okay, I'm on it.

Good luck.

It's done.

Now we wait 'til morning.

Mom and Gram think it's Dad.

I think it's PawPaw.

-Soon we'll know. - Another way we could have done it

was to dust for fingerprints on the sewing stuff

or look for other clues.

Okay, Sherlock, save that for next time.

Okay.

Goodnight.

Goodnight, Michael.

We decided I'd sleep in the chair in Michael's room

to monitor the trap of the midnight quilter.

Someone's at the front door.

Anna! Anna!

Come on.

Stay in your room.

Come quick. Shadrach's loose!

Shadrach?

I almost hit him with my car.

He was in the middle of the road. I nearly hit him.

- Was he far? - He went that way.

Went that way, went that...

-Shadrach! - Shadrach!

- Shadrach! - Shadrach!

-Shadrach! -Shadrach!

Get in.

She said he went down that way.

Shadrach. Shadrach, where are you?

Shadrach?

There you are.

What you doing here, Shadrach?

Come on. We need to go home.

What are you doing?

-Oh, thank goodness. -Oh, thank God.

Looks like he knew where he was going.

Tell you, this horse, incredible.

He's got a mind of his own, that's for sure.

You scared us. You can't go walking in the middle of the road.

He went to our new house.

Well, I mean, it's just right down the road.

But do you think he knew?

Could he tell that this is where we were going next?

Well, he's here.

Yeah.

What are we gonna do with you?

You scared me.

Gilly, you're the hero.

I could have been a villain. I almost hit that horse.

Oh, can you imagine?

I was just in the right place at the right time.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Gilly, what were you doing out driving around

at 3:00 in the morning?

I couldn't sleep.

So you got in the car?

Well, I just have a lifelong suffering insomnia.

So I just drive around aimlessly.

It's better than looking at the ceiling.

Oh, not being able to sleep is the worst.

Honey?

I wasn't just driving around aimless.

I-- I am such a big liar.

I owe you all an apology.

I've been coming over here every night

letting myself in through the back door

and working on the quilt.

You're the midnight quilter?

More like the 2:00 a.m. wackadoo neighbor.

I was trying to bring some magic into things.

Well, I mean, Gram did say you love that elf on the shelf thing.

What I love is all of you.

You're such a wonderful family.

Aw, Gilly.

You never lock your back door.

So that's why I come right in and did a bit of sewing.

I was gonna tell you all about it,

but the quilt mystery sort of got outta hand

and got away from me.

Oh, Gilly.

I'm so ashamed.

- Gilly! - Breaking and entering.

But Gilly, that's the reason you were on the road.

That's how you found Shadrach.

So you forgive me?

Gilly, we more than forgive you.

We love you.

Hey, there's still some patches left to finish on that quilt.

Cam!

And that quilt is going on our bed.

I'm proud of it and I'm proud of you for taking an interest.

Really?

You brought it value again.

It's pretty country.

I'm proud to be country.

That's how the quilt got finished.

Okay. That is quite a story.

Hard to believe.

You arranged my sermon cards while I was recuperating.

I just...

You just... lent a helping hand.

That's what I'm gonna talk about this weekend.

It's the basis of community to be there for each other.

- You got all your work done? - Yep.

Who did you write your essay about?

Shadrach. But don't worry,

I got permission from the teacher.

Good girl.

What about you, Michael?

Can't you guess?

Maybe a certain big sister?

Oh, you're great. You know that.

But no, I didn't write about you.

Maybe a grandparent?

No, that's too obvious of a choice.

Okay. Are you gonna tell us?

- I wrote about Gilly. - Really?

We were supposed to write about a person who changed our life.

Or if you got special permission,

an animal that did that.

Gilly shows me about compassion.

- Michael? - Yeah?

Bless you.

We are all a patchwork of hopes and dreams.

We're all held together by what we decide

to make out of the fabric of our lives.
