Join the Hoffman Challenge 2024-25!

There's no better way to celebrate than joining in on the 35th Annual Hoffman Challenge.

Our "Fresh Meadow" batik collection makes up the 2024-2025 Hoffman Challenge Collection. Hoffman Challenge participants are required to use a minimum of 5 out of 14 of these batik challenge fabrics in the body of the quilt top or garment in recognizable, but not necessarily equal amounts. While we love when you use Hoffman's fabrics, we invite you to use fabric from any manufacturer in addition to the required challenge fabrics. Ready to celebrate with us? Here's what you need to know.
