Today I continue my quest in creating and posting one block a day of the fabulous That Town And Country Quilt by the lovely Susan Claire. This is day sixty of that project.

I love kids’ clothes.

I am delighted by the colors and how cute things are in small sizes (sort of like women’s shoes in a size 5). In fact, I’d like that little pink dress in the window for my granddaughter.

Shopping for girl clothes is a novelty for our family. She’s five now, and the clothes keep getting cuter. I only had sons, and now I have five grandsons and her.

She is a hoot.

Quite the fashionista, she may change her ensemble several times a day. One day she went out to help with chores in her Chore Clothes. When she came in, and her mom announced they were going to the feed store, she looked up at her mother in horror and said, “I have to change my clothes! I can’t go looking like this!”

She was four at the time.
