The symbolism of stitching is that stitches hold things together, and Mrs. Wright's situation was falling apart. This becomes clear when the women look at the quilt that Mrs. Wright was working on most recently, and see that there had been neat, even stitching on the rest of the quilt, but the latest stitching had been a total mess.
