An apparatus for displaying samples of window coverings including a base having a front and a rear and at least one suction cup mounted on the rear of the base and adapted to releasably engage a flat surface. The base includes at least one support. The support is adapted to releasably receive and hold a first fabric sample and a second fabric sample, such that the samples are suspended substantially parallel to the flat surface. The second fabric sample is positioned at a greater distance from the flat surface than the first fabric sample, to define a space between the first and second fabric samples.

The invention claimed is: 1. An assembly for displaying samples of window coverings, the assembly comprising: at least two fabric samples; a base having a front and a rear; at least one suction cup mounted on the rear of said base and being adapted to releasably engage a flat surface; and at least one projection on said base, said projection having a first portion and a second portion separated by a spacer, said at least one projection releasably receiving and holding said at least two fabric samples, such that said fabric samples are suspended substantially parallel to said flat surface with a space between said at least two fabric samples. 2. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein said base has first and second ends and wherein said at least one suction cup is mounted on the rear of said base proximate each of said first and second ends. 3. The assembly according to claim 1, wherein said at least one suction cup is adapted to engage a vertical surface, such that said at least two fabric samples are suspended in a substantially vertical plane. 4. An apparatus for displaying samples of window coverings comprising: a first fabric sample and a second fabric sample; a base having a front and a rear; a means for releasably engaging a flat surface, said means disposed on said rear of said base; and a means for releasably receiving and positioning said first fabric sample and said second fabric sample on said base; said means adapted so that said first fabric sample and said second fabric sample are suspended substantially parallel to said flat surface and said second fabric sample is positioned at a greater difference from said flat surface than said first fabric sample to define a space between said first and second fabric samples. 5. An apparatus for displaying samples of window coverings comprising: a base having a front and a rear, said base further including at least one projection extending outwardly from said front, said projection including a first portion having a first surface and a second portion having a second surface; a separator element positioned between said first portion and said second portion such that said first surface is not contiguous with said second surface of said second portion; and a first fabric sample and a second fabric sample, each sample having a support portion for engaging said first portion or said second portion of said protrusion, wherein when said support portion of said first fabric sample engages said first surface or said second surface of said protrusion and said support portion of said second fabric sample engages the other of said first surface or said second surface, said support portions of said respective fabric samples being remote from one another. 6. The apparatus according to claim 5, wherein said separator element is a spacer integrally formed with said protrusion. 7. The apparatus according to claim 6, further comprising at least one suction cup mounted on said rear of said base and adapted to releasably engage a flat surface. 8. The apparatus according to claim 7, wherein said base has first and second ends and wherein at least one suction cup is mounted on said rear of said base proximate each of said first and second ends. 9. The apparatus according to claim 7, wherein said at least one suction cup is adapted to engage a vertical surface, such that said first fabric sample and said second fabric sample are suspended in a substantially vertical plane. 10. The apparatus according to claim 5, further comprising an attachment mechanism mounted on said rear of said base and adapted to releasably engage a flat surface. 11. The apparatus according to claim 10, wherein said attachment mechanism includes at least one suction cup. 12. The apparatus according to claim 5, wherein two projections extend outwardly from said first surface, each capable of engaging said support portion of said first and second fabric samples. 13. An apparatus for displaying samples of window coverings comprising: a first fabric sample and a second fabric sample, each having a support portion; and a base having a front and a rear, said base further including at least one projection extending outwardly from said front, said at least one projection having a separating means adapted for separating said at least one projection into a first portion and a second portion; wherein said support portion of said first fabric sample engages said projection along said first portion and said support portion of said second fabric sample engages said second portion, such that said support portion of each of said fabric samples cannot share a contiguous surface. 14. The apparatus according to claim 13, further comprising an attachment means for attaching said base to a flat surface. 15. The apparatus according to claim 14, wherein said attachment means includes at least one suction cup mounted to said rear of said base. 16. The apparatus according to claim 13, wherein said separating means includes a spacer positioned between said first portion and said second portion of said at least one projection. 17. The apparatus according to claim 16, wherein said base includes two projections extending outwardly from said front, each having a spacer. 18. The apparatus according to claim 13, wherein said fabric samples are aligned parallel to one another and said second fabric sample is positioned at a greater distance from said base than said first fabric sample.
