Welcome from West Central Florida.
I was a groomer in a previous life. My best friend still is. When we both had our babies we had to remind each other that we couldn't put the kids in the crates! ( Not that we would ever do that). Of course now that my son is 3 with a new puppy, I find that he puts himself in the crate...With kids and dogs you will find lots of reasons to quilt. I can't wait to see what you come up with.
