Facebook

I have this picture -- taken at the 2009 Sew Expo -- the MOMENT Jan Potter gave me the Hey Rita tote...

Since then -- if you follow my Rita's Sew Fun blog -- you have seen the Hey Rita tote traveling all over the world. She's gone with me to scores of events in cities like New York City, Las Vegas, Reno, Virginia, Florida, Memphis, Chicago, Seattle. She's carried my stuff on buses, subways, airplanes. Hey Rita has been a hard-working, useful traveling companion and she's brought a smile to people all over the country...


In just a few weeks -- at this year's show -- she's going to participate in our Facebook game...

We're going to set up the "Facebook Place" over by the ticket booth in the Showplex. Rhonda Pierce, from Schmetz Sewing Machine Needles, will be our Facebook hostess -- and she'll be roaming the show, taking pictures, doing interviews, and posting REAL TIME show information..

Throughout the day -- we'll place the Hey Rita tote in some likely (or UNlikely) place...and if you find her -- and return her to the Facebook Place -- you'll receive a gift from Schmetz...

She could be sitting on a bench....

Hanging on a fence...
You NEVER know where she might be laying around...
Or hanging on a hook in some random booth...
Of course you could find her in a coffee shop
Or visiting with some of her sewing friends...
Any chair -- in any class...


She is a celebrity magnet...(yes, that's Vicki from the Real Housewives of Orange County)...


She enjoys visiting New York City...







The biggest names in the sewing world have enjoyed playing the Hey Rita tote game....and now YOU GET TO PLAY...








SO -- to start off -- go to our Facebook page.

You have to "like" the page. THEN -- you'll be able to see what's happening at the show in REAL TIME. Rhonda will post updates and, using your smartphone or tablet -- you can play along with Facebook...

OR -- if you're home that day -- or in another part of the country (and why would that happen??) -- you can still see what's happening at the biggest sewing party in America!!
