Sometimes it happens that everything goes downhill: relationships fall apart, friends quarrel with you, love evaporates. And you need to make a lot of effort to get your life back on track. It is for this that five patchwork craftswomen come to the Elm Creek estate. Winnie, an eighty-year-old lady, must find a wife for her beloved grandson; Megan, who is raising her son, a difficult teenager, alone, dreams that her ex-husband will remember his fatherly duty and become a friend to the boy; Donna wants to get a cruel and dangerous guy away from her daughter; Julia - to save her career and star in a good film; and Grace, suffering from an incurable disease, needs to open up to her friends and talk frankly with them. And each of them, you can rest assured, will definitely find a way out of a difficult situation and finally become happy.
