This story is my real life at the moment. Fantasy meets Reality…This is a story where I am one of the main characters and Mike Rowe is my co-star. It is a two person act…the third being the one who lands the quilt made from these jeans…
They are on their way…
This is the original post I did :
Dear Mike Rowe,
As you can see by this page, I dabble in Quilts. A great part-time job to supplement my income from my real job of cutting hair @ Magic Touch & Her Gardens. I am not in a position to donate money or buy any of your C.R.A.P., but I could make a Rag Quilt out of your jeans, I even can include stains… Bet it would net you a few grand for Mike Rowe Works. Let me know what you think! It would be my honor~ Judy
Offering to make a quilt out of his jeans to auction off for his Foundation mikeroweWorks – knowing how many women would love the opportunity to get (in) Mike Rowe’s pants, myself included of course – in the hopes of it netting a few grand.
I waited…..and waited….How could he refuse such an offer? and I waited some more…
Found out you cannot post to a page from another page…I learn something new everyday!
About 3 weeks later I posted again…in my name to Mike’s wall.
Seriously Mike Rowe,
Send me 6 pair of your used jeans and I will make a quilt from them, and I will throw in a few Garden Aprons….
He responded!
Remember me? I am still waiting to get (in) your pants…

Kudos on many fronts:
1) Being a fan of Mike Rowe.
2)Helping out with his mission.
3)Getting (in) his pants!
4) Seriously great use of social media!
Very clever! Way to go, raising money and getting (in) Mike Rowe’s pants. I’ll look for the finished project, I’m sure it will be amazing!
Congratulations! I would think auctioning this off or even selling a limited amount of raffle tickets could make quite a bit of money. I am so thrilled for you! I still wish he would bite and come visit the gardens at Patton. Maybe he can come in person to pick up the quilt and we could walk him around Longwood!
One can dream!
I am pretty sure it will be delivered via Post…but one never knows…:)
Judy, I am so happy for u!! Yeaa… they r on there way.. I knew Mike would give them to u!! Now hoping he would come in person to hand deliver it to him, maybe? Lol
HAHAHA! A girl can dream…Just having the opportunity to do this is rewarding enough…
Love it Judy! I know you will do a great job and I love the play on words! Great blog
can’t wIt to see what you do (in ) Mike’s pants 😉
You know me Nancy, I will have fun with any play on words…I will be doing follow up posts as the process continues…Next is Mike Rowe’s Package…LOL…
Can’t wait to see the quilt.
Judy…that surely is a logical progression. The prospect of getting into Mike Rowe’s pants is definitely exciting, but the anticipation of peering into his package would be….well, let me just take a few deep breaths while I consider the possibility!
