presented in cooperation with

It's a Bali Road Rally!

We are proud to announce the fabric for the 2012 Maine Quilt Shop hop is Hoffman Bali Batiks!

These exquisite fabrics are produced by hand on the lush tropical island of Bali. The fabric is either painted by hand with dye, batiked, or created with a combination of these processes. Some designs have as many as five different techniques used to create the finished piece.

Each shop will have an exquisite selection of Hoffman Bali Batiks hand-picked by them with you in mind. As you travel around to the shops, be sure to take a look at their assortment. Also, you will find inspiration in each shop with their Challenge Quilts, made using four Hoffman Bali Batiks and using specific guidelines. The background of this webpage features one of the Challenge Fabrics that the shops will be using.

Each shop-hopper will receive a FREE Hoffman Bali Batik charm square, hand-selected by Hoffman of California to evoke the blues and greens of Maine's waters: in our rivers, lakes and oceans. It is a truly gorgeous medley which reflects the natural beauty of Maine's waters.

As Shop Hop approaches, we will post a Free Downloadable Charm Square Pattern created exclusively for Maine Quilt Shop Hop, specifically for use with the assortment of Free Charm Squares that you will receive in your travels.

Be sure to keep an eye on this website for updates, list of participating shops, sponsor prizes and more!
