* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The villains use the same tactics as cults do. Start out wanting someone to join your "club," proceed to alienate them from their friends and family, and then proceed to state their group is the only thing that matters. And it works on Muriel.

And it works on Muriel.



* NeedleworkIsForOldPeople: The elderly Muriel is at a fabric shop and the shopkeepers, an elderly pair of ConjoinedTwins called the Stitch Sisters, tell her about their quilt club, encouraging Muriel to make quilts and bring them in so they can decide if she's worthy to join the club. Muriel makes progressively bigger and more elaborate quilts but the Stitch Sisters keep rejecting them, causing Muriel to go half-mad until they finally accept her and offer her to stitch a cloth with a giant symbol into a giant quilt. It turns out that the quilt is magical and stitching the symbol into it causes Muriel to go into another dimension inside it, where she's stuck floating with the souls of other quilters. The Stitch Sisters have been doing this for a long time to prolong their lives. Courage frees Muriel by stitching some of her old patches into the quilt.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Although Muriel is charitable enough to offer the sisters' victims sanctum in the form of being part of a quilting club together, it's up in the air what these different women from [[FishOutOfTemporalWater different time periods]] are going to do to adjust to being in the present day.

* LaserGuidedKarma: For basically stealing Muriel's hard work as their own (along with many women throughout the ages), the Stitch Sisters not only become trapped in their own magic, but their cloth is used by a stuffy-nosed Eustace as a handkerchief.

!!Tropes for "The Quilt Club"
* ChekhovsGun: Muriel's patch depicting Eustace as a baby is used later by Courage to remind Muriel of her life outside the Quilting Club and slightly weaken the Sisters' magic.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Muriel suggests using one of her memorabilia patches for the club, the Stitch Sisters decline, saying they prefer to make 'new memories' in their club. As it turns out, not only is their M.O. to make their victims forget life outside of the club, but their magic is undone by things tied to their victims' familial memories.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: The Stitch Sisters aim to do this to their victims. As exemplified by Muriel, they know their victims are ready to "join the club" once they've forgotten their loved ones.
* LaserGuidedKarma: For basically stealing Muriel's hard work as their own (along with many women throughout the ages), the Stitch Sisters not only become trapped in their own magic, but their cloth is used by a stuffy-nosed Eustace as a handkerchief.
