Hoffman California Fabrics Tour
We had a wonderful tour of the Hoffman Fabrics Headquarters last Thursday. We saw lots of Fabric (sigh)… So beautiful!
If you ever have the opportunity to take the Hoffman tour, DO IT! I tagged along with a group from Buena Park.
Michelle really gave us the royal treatment.
We saw samples of current and future fabrics.
Some samples of how the fabrics look made up into quilts.
And we even got to see the new Bali Pops from their legendary Hoffman hand-dyeds… Coming some to a quilt shop near you!
We saw their distribution facility:
A view into their headquarters…
A great time was had by all. The group of ladies from Buena Park were all gracious and curious about Hoffman. And Michelle was very accomodating to the large group. We learned and were amazed by all the wonderful fabrics. We were so inspired!
You know, Hoffman has their annual challenge coming up. The fabric is called Peacock Gold and it is fabulous:
I challenge you to enter the Hoffman Challenge! It is quite inspirational!
Check it out: Hoffman Challenge
The entry date is coming up in July so you better get working!
Did you know…They sell first quality Hoffman fabrics at M & L in Anaheim. (Could someone let me know if M&L has the Challenge fabric pictured above? Thanks!)
They are also available on the web through Amazon and Batiks Plus.
