Fashion Friday: Duets

Love the tag team DuncanCreative and The Quilted House!

Currently Karen and Michelle are combining their talents to create, what I am sure will be beautiful cloche hats hand crocheted by Karen with fun and funky quilted flowers by Michelle.

The duo will debut their latest and greatest at Mayday Underground! Can't wait to see them! Love the idea of teaming up with other team members to create new products. Perhaps this could be one of the monthly team challenges?

We could challenge each other to come up with the funkiest and most unexpected of combinations!
