One of SewCalGal's favorite exhibits at major quilt shows is seeing a traveling exhibit of the Hoffman Challenge. Every year they are different and always inspirational. The quilts, the dolls, and the clothing are always beautiful. I always enjoy every entry and love the creativity.
The Hoffman Challenge is truly a great challenge. Every year a new Challenge fabric is selected and entries must use enough of the challenge fabric to be recognizable, plus any other fabric that they wish to use.
Of course, Hoffman always coordinates the challenge fabric with other fabrics that would work well with the primary fabric. You should be able to find the Hoffman Challenge fabric, as well as complimentary fabrics, in your local quilt shop or favorite online shop.
Entries for the 2014 Hoffman Challenge need to be received by July 18th 2014. Click here for more information on the rules, as well as how to enter.
Did I Mention A Giveaway:
Hoffman has generously donated a bundle of fabrics for a lucky follower. This fabric bundle includes the primary Hoffman Challenge fabric and three complimentary Hoffman fabrics. All are very generous half yard cuts.
This is a great bundle for anyone interested in participating in the Hoffman Challenge, but you can also use this bundle to create anything you wish and do anything you want with your project.
SewCalGal will ship this prize to the lucky winner, but due to finances I can only afford to ship to a US Winner at this time. But for my International followers I will be holding a giveaway for you shortly. Thanks for understanding that International Shipping costs are just outrageously expensive! And do keep an eye out for my page where I share insights on Giveways and Contests, as I've also added a log for all Giveaways SewCalGal hosts, including near term giveaways that will be posted soon.
For US followers that would like to win this fabric, please submit your entry in the rafflecopter form below.

I have always wanted to try this, but wasn't always in love with the choice fabric - this however has super possibilities.
I haven't entered a Hoffman challenge. I've seen the entries and they are amazing.

Too chicken. I don't feel as if I have enough creativity or imagination. How's that for honest?
I have never enter a Hoffman Challenge before. This year's fabric looks like it has many possibilities. If I win I think I would go for it.

I've never entered, but I'm waiting for inspiration. I'd love to enter because I love Hoffman fabrics.
Every year I say I'm going to enter the Hoffman Challenge, but somehow time gets away from me and I never do. I really want to enter this year (plus I love the fabrics)!
I have not entered a Hoffman challenge but I was lucky enough to see a traveling quilt show of those that entered the challenge many years ago.

Never entered but my DIL entered the Riley Blake and won so I'm thinking about it much more seriously. Thanks.
I have not ever entered the Hoffman challenge, but have entered smaller local challenges, and my quilt guild does some sort of challenge every year I usually participate in.
I have not entered the challenge mostly because i have so little time as it is! I don't think I could meet any deadline.
I have not entered before.

I have never entered a Hoffman challenge. The fabric chosen for this year looks amazing
I have never entered a Hoffman challenge. Mostly, because I look at previous challenge winners and think there is no way I will ever be that creative. I still consider myself a beginner.
Wow! I've always been a spectator on these....but that primary fabric is stunning! I'd love to give it a try!
I haven't entered a Hoffman challenge. I've seen the entries and they are amazing.<3
I wish I could say I have entered the Hofman Challenge but I haven't
as yet.
I've never tried a Hoffman challenge--the fabrics look like a lot of fun!
I purchased everything I needed for the Hoffman Challenge a few years ago and even designed the quilt. Then stuff happened....
I've never entered, though I came close last year. This year I've been busy so haven't gotten to it. Thanks for the giveaway.
No, I have never entered a Hoffman Challenge. I am very new to this and am trying to decide on my next project.
This will be my 4th year in doing the Hoffman Challenge. It's fun to work the brain on what to make.
Wow, I really love this fabric! Thanks for the giveaway.
That is a gorgeous fabric. It is very different from most of their challenge fabrics. If I didn't already have so much on my plate I'd consider entering this time. I'll probably have to settle for just getting the fabric for now.
I love the Hoffman fabrics this year. Thanks for the giveaway!
