This quilt was made for a very cool and interesting guy. He worked as a
custodian, and you never saw him without his bottle of Windex and a
cloth. He traveled from office to office, dispensing his particular
brand of wisdom. I decided to make actual windows. They're pieces of
clear vinyl, sewed to each block. Those who worked in his favorite
offices signed their own blocks. At the block intersections are glued
tiny tools of his trade - a sponge, a bucket, a cleaning cloth. Take a
look! The back of the quilt features a small pair of purple pajama
pants: he was known to wear them to work on occasion. As one friend
said at his retirement reception, there was something about him, and it wasn't the pajama pants. We still miss him and when he visits word travels fast.
