I'd be terrible at playing cards

Well, it's Friday and I did get quite a bit done this week. I sent off my finished Hands-2-Help Charity Quilt to Judi at Green Fairy Quilts. I finished my Goodie Bag swap Bag and all the little extras that will go into the bag. I sewed 2 Mug Rug flags for my daughters History class, and finished my Scrappy Mug Rug swap Mug Rug (sounds repetitious). Here is my "why I'd be a terrible card player" problem. Both of my secret partners for the above mentioned swaps had very specific, almost unique "likes" for their swaps. I'm afraid if I post photo's as a sneak peek they will know IMMEDIATELY that I am their "no longer" secret partner. So, I'll give you sneak peeks here. Unless they are visiting blogs of everyone who signed up for the swap I don't think they figure it out.

likes: "practical", dark (black), red and white. Needs a bigger bag to carry stuff.

long straps

likes hexies

lots of interior pockets, one with a zipper (interior) and zippered top (outside)

for me it's all about the finishing details in unexpected places- button "feet" and hidden hexies

and for the Scrappy Mug Rug Swap

My partner likes: linen, polka dots, bright modern florals

a treat to go with the mug rug (2, to-go rugs , one for each of her  little boys)

back-o'-the rugs: hopefully you can see the boy karma happening. Also, my partner likes fish, and zoo animals

getting closer.......

closest! I really hopes she likes it.

So, I'll post the pictures here and as the swaps get closer to the finish line, perhaps I'll put my poker face on and play the wild cards.
