On Friday, January 20th after the classes were over for the day the shop owners all hustled over to the ballroom to attend Sample It! Shop owners were able to purchase samples from many different vendors and then hall all of it away to assess where we might have wanted to shop during the show on Saturday and Sunday. Below are photos of the many opportunities Sample It! offered, however there were I few samples I purchased where I will not be able to carry the product in the store because I am not Brick and Mortar. Several of the following items will end up in your shopping carts as they were not intended as stash for me! OK, I may keep a little bit of it. LOL!
Thank you all for your suggestions for shopping at the show. It truly did influence my purchases.

| In Red! |
Stitch Red is a huge theme this year in the fiber industry. Heart disease is the number one killer of women in America and the fiber industry has banded together to get the message out. There will be many red and pink items added to the shop this year in support of research for heart disease and breast cancer. Heart disease is a problem both in my family and in my husband's family. Please do all you can to support
Stitch Red.
