It Pays to be Crafty


Jessie decided she wanted to make a jean quilt.
Nothing too fancy... just squares with an adorable backing fabric.
Katy and I went through a phase where every pair of jeans we owned went into an "I'm making a jean quilt someday..." box.
I told Jessie she could use our jeans (hope that's ok Katy) and she commenced cutting squares.
Last night as she was cutting up a pair of jeans she reached into the pocket and found $7 and a movie ticket stub.
Who knows how long it has been there and how long it would have sat there if she didn't decide to make a quilt.

  1. I'm curious about which movie it was. Naturally. And because that may tell me how long said stuffs was in there...

  3. Unfortunately I saw the movie in Keokuk (Vin understands what that means) so there is no record of what movie it was, just a red ticket stub.
