I treasure this story about custom work.

On a 1980 visit to Hilo, my aunt told me about an episode that had her street buzzing. The next-door neighbor had commissioned a quilt in 1960 and paid ahead of time. The quilt did not appear, the neighbor was posted out of the country for a few years, and the commission forgotten. Twenty years later, the quilter turned up all smiles and out of the blue to deliver a beautiful piece of work.
