It's Here: The Hoffman Fabrics 100 Year Challenge!
Put your creative & technical skills to the test to make a work of art with the blue themed Hoffman Bali Batiks! With a shared history for our love & appreciation of the ocean and surfing, this breathtaking fifteen-piece collection represents the waves of our beloved Pacific Ocean and the waves our businesses have ridden! They are the very BEST of their batiks: their bestsellers, staples in your stashes and a tire celebration of their 100 years in textile making!
To enter a minimum of 5 of the 15-piece collection must be used in the body of the quilt top or garment in recognizable, but not necessarily equal amounts. You can use Hoffman’s fabrics or fabrics from any other manufacturer in addition to the required challenge fabrics.

You may submit up to three different pieces of artwork with a $30 entry fee (paid online).
