What is the Hoffman Bali Batik Club?
We want to help you keep your customers inspired and coming back for more so we designed a Hoffman Bali Batik Club to do just that. Each month, we will send you 10 gorgeous bundles. You can always order more than 10 bundles, but they are sold in increments of 10. Each bundle contains 12 Hoffman Bali Batik Fat Quarters in a lovely seasonal color story. Each month, we will include a card in your shipment for a link to a free pattern that we think pairs well with the bundles.

Is it too late to start?
Don’t worry if you didn’t get started in January! You are welcome to join the club anytime, just let us know which month you would like to begin and we will make sure you get all 12 months in sequential order.

When do my bundles deliver?
Your bundles will deliver to your shop one month prior to the month they belong to. For example, February’s bundles will ship to you in January, while March’s bundles will ship to you in February.

Can I buy the bundles without being in the club?
Each month’s bundles can also be sold separately, without being in the club. If your store always carries a pink section of fabric in support of Breast Cancer, you are welcome to purchase our February bundles to fill up with pink. If your local high school’s color is green, you can purchase our March bundles in time for parents and grandparents to whip up graduation gifts for their high schooler. Just remember, you can buy any of these 12 bundles in increments of 10 at anytime.

Need some fun ideas to get you started?
Have your customers sign up for the year-long club in advance and get them committed to coming to the shop for a social time. Host a coffee party once a month to distribute the bundles to your club members and have them show off the projects made with the previous months’ bundles. Pair each bundle with a pattern and thread to enhance your customers’ experience and get them inspired to start a project.

The quilter/sewist who enters first wins! Well, not really, but we were delighted to see Sharon Morgan made the first submission in the 2018 Hoffman Challenge featuring Shine On!

Entering is “sew” easy! Just fill out the form, submit two photos of your artwork, and pay the entry fee at Hoffman Challenge 2018 Entry by the June 22 deadline.

2018 marks the 30th year of Hoffman Fabrics’ annual juried contest featuring original quilts, garments, and accessories. Makers of winning artwork receive cash and product prizes. Challenge co-sponsor Aurifil Thread presents awards for the Best Use of Aurifil category.

After reviewing all entries from the digital submission process, a panel of judges invites quilters and sewists to mail their artwork to Hoffman Fabrics for in-person judging. Get full details on the contest website.

We loved Sharon’s entry in the 2016 Challenge featuring the butterfly-themed Crystalia. Her mixed-technique quilt showed originality, good execution, and storytelling. Take a look. We think you’ll agree and find inspiration from it. And we look forward to seeing your entry soon!

 

Did you think that you would ever see a wide back fabric as lovely as Skylines? Or Hoffman’s Bali Sunflower? Or Mystic Meadow?

That’s right! We took some of our most popular designs in batiks and digital prints and blew them up BIG! As in 108 inches wide big. That means with our popular Skylines cityscape, the building reach nearly 9 feet. How cool is that?

Of course you can count on Hoffman wide back fabrics to offer the same premium quality as our regular-width goods.  

We’re packaging our wide backs in user-friendly 3-yard cuts – the perfect size for quilt backs. Look for our beautiful fabrics folded in clear bags bearing our super-cute product name … wait for it … Hoffman 3-Sums!

They add just the right touch of elegance and beauty, and they’re so pretty you can also use them for seamless borders or bindings, whole-cloth quilts and duvets, pillows, dust ruffles, tablecloths, slipcovers, curtains and other chic DIY home décor.

Ask for a 3-Sum at your favorite Hoffman retailer!

Lucky attendees at QuiltCon couldn’t help but notice that Me+You modern batiks are on a roll. A big roll. A Big Fat 50 roll!

Quilters and sewists went gaga over Big Fat 50, a collection of 50 one-yard cuts of Me+You Indah Batiks that are hand-crafted at the Hoffman Fabrics’ factory in Bali. They swooned over the modern, minimalist motifs and palette of saturated bright colors.

Me+You founder Aaron Hoffman had family on hand to celebrate the newest release of Indah Batiks, which are designed to accent the blender-basics line of hand-dyed Indah Solids.

“My favorite part of Quiltcon every year is connecting with the makers and creators that love my fabric,” he said. “The quilts in the show are rad, and the people at Quiltcon are full of ideas and inspiration. It was awesome to be able to share my brand with my kids and the rest of the Hoffman family at the show.”
