Quilters
and sewers come to Hoffman California Fabrics for the best in original
screenprints and hand-dyed batiks and handpaints.
Fun Facts About Hoffman Fabrics:
- In
1924, by Rube Hoffman, a New York textile jobber, founded Hoffman
California Fabrics, selling wool flannels to California department
stores and clothing manufacturers. Soon, he was buying greige goods
(undyed fabric) to imprint his own designs. Rube played an important role in the growth of
California's textile industry. Learn more about their fascinating history.
- More
than 800 designs of colorful screenprints and luscious Bali batiks are created by their Design Department each
year.
- The Hoffman Challenge is celebrating its 24th Anniversary this year. Scroll down on this page to read a fascinating account on how the challenge fabric is selected.
- Stay up-to-date with their new fabric releases by "liking" them on Facebook!
And last but not least:
-
At Quilt Market just a few weeks ago, Hoffman Fabrics announced a revolutionary line of fabric! "Coming At You! - Hoffman 3D" is viewable as three-dimensional with the
help of special 3D glasses. That's right, a fabric with 3D special
effects -- the first such collection in quilting! It will hit quilt shops in August - but you could be one the early birds who receive it before that!
Three lucky winners will randomly receive one of three Quillow kits featuring the new "Coming At You! - Hoffman 3D" line of fabric! ($150 value)

The "H3D Outer Space
Quillow" is made with the spaceship pattern (J8610 18-Royal) and makes into a 42" X 68" quillow, complete with a spaceship
appliqued pocket on the "pillow side" to hold our special Hoffman 3-D
glasses. Boys and girls will enjoy a "virtual space" experience when
they view the fabric with a pair of our 3-D glasses, which is included in the
kit. The coordinating "blender fabrics" in the quillow are selected
Hoffman Bali Style 1895 Watercolors in vivid hues of red, blue, green, yellow
and orange.

The "H3D Butterfly
Quillow" made with the butterfly jungle pattern (J8611 8-Green)
makes into a 41" X 70" quillow, complete with
a butterfly appliqued pocket on the "pillow side" to hold our
special Hoffman 3-D glasses. Boys and girls will enjoy a "virtual
butterfly hunting" experience when they view the fabric with a pair of our
3-D glasses, which is included in the kit. The coordinating "blender
fabrics" in the quillow are selected Hoffman Bali Style 1895 Watercolors
in vivid hues of red, blue, green, yellow, orange and magenta.
