Giveaway: Bali Pops Pack
Hoffman Fabrics recently introduced six new “flavors” of their popular pre-cut Bali Pops fabric packs. The packs include 40 different Bali Batiks cut in strips measuring 2.5″ wide by 44″ long. I’m not much of a batik person but I have worked with them before in quilts and appreciate their deep, saturated colors and organic, hand-rendered motifs. The Hoffman batiks come in an astounding variety of colors and beautiful, versatile designs. They sent me a mocha mint pack, and immediately upon opening the package I had the urge to go to Starbucks. I thought that was a funny reaction to tropical fabric.
Hoffman’s in-house designers create the motifs and colorways of their batiks, which are produced in Bali, Indonesia by master craftspeople using traditional handmade methods. If you need some guidance on how to use these packs, check out Breaking Waves, a free quilt pattern available through the Hoffman site. There are also for-sale patterns and/or books by Brenda Henning, Suzanne McNeill, Trisha Stuart, and Daniela Stout that employ these fabrics.
Hoffman is offering up one Bali Pops pack to a True Up reader. Just take a look at the 12 different color packs available and leave a comment about your favorite flavor. I will draw a winner randomly this Friday, August 7, 2009, around 9am eastern U.S. time. Yum!

I’m not usually a Batik person either but I really do like the Strawberry Fields pack.
I think my favorite is Green Tea, thanks!
I’ve never worked with batiks. I like the Green Tea assortment.
This is a toughie… When it comes down to it, I like Strawberry Fields, Green Tea and Cappuccino.
Holy cow, I love the Berry Bliss. AND the Green Tea. Gorgeous.
I’m in love with the Cotton Candy!
I am liking the Green Tea … now off to make me a cup.
I am torn between the Green Tea and the Spumoni. They are both beautiful!!!
I can only say one?!? I really like Green Tea, but the Spumoni is gorgeous too, with the oranges in it…
Batiks are my fav and I ‘ve been drooling over these Bali Pops for a while. It’s hard to pick just one, but I’ll say Spumoni.
Love the new Cappuccino! I haven’t used batiks but have always wanted to try them.
I’m loving Spumoni. Thanks for the giveaway!
Definitely the Green Tea pack!! LOVE IT!
I think I like the Green Tea. Very nice.
I have to say I’m really loving the green tea! Funny because iced green tea is my favorite summer drink-and summer is year round in Hawaii, so I down a fair amount of it!
I love to drink it, and now there’s this lovely batic fabric as well: green tea it is! ^_^ I *love* it!
I love the Green Tea! Super nice batiks!
Definitely the green tea. I like that Breaking Waves pattern too – thanks for the link!
I have not worked with batiks but I would love to try the green tea one. Thanks!
I am definitely a batiks person, so I’d love to win one of these sets… I’d pick “Spumoni”!
Love the green tea strips.. very pretty…
Sherbet is definitely my favorite! It reminds me of Baskin Robbins, yum.
one of each? OK. Mulberry. Short on purples at the moment.
I love the spumoni!
Batik isn’t usually my bag either, but the green tea has a nice range of colors. Love the green with pops of creamsicle orange! It would also work well for a project I’m scheming up for my mom’s November birthday…
I love the Green Tea and Cotton Candy! Beautiful fabrics!
Oh, my – GREAT give-a-way! I can see a coiled basket made out of this lovely fabric. It was hard to choose just one – so I’m going with (2) and either one will be fine if I am lucky enough to win!! The Green Tea and Spumoni colorways are FAB!! Put my name in the basket – I’m game!
Lots of lovely batiks! I just finished a project out of all batiks and love it.
My favorite flavor is definitely the Cappuccino – such a lovely collection!
I love the Green Tea pack.
I am not usually a green theme person, but the green tea bunch is really great. I have not worked with batiks but they look like so much fun. Thanks for the chance!!!!
Oh oh oh GREEN TEA is perfect selection (and mine). Please throw me into the pot. Thanks.
mmmm, cotton candy! Loving the less heavy colors at this point and these look terrific! thanks for the chance, k
My favorite is “mint chip” . I love the blues and greens with the surprise purple fabric! Thanks for a chance to win.
Oh these look so yummy. I really like the Spumoni but the others look wonderful too.
Oh, it’s so hard to choose–but I think I’m in the mood for cappucino! They are all gorgeous.
I love Bali Pops. If I had to choose just one I think it would be Spumoni, but Green Tea is a really close second. I think it would be hard to go wrong with any of them.
I love the green tea… I’m totally into green and am obsessed with actual green tea as well!
I think it’s a tie between the Mocha Mint and the Green Tea! But they are all so wonderful!
i love the spumoni colorway. it’s got a lot of color that reminds me of a tropical paradise summer getaway.
For me, I’m thinking Green Tea, but I like the cotton candy one too….
Oh darn i like them all!!
Green tea is great but actually love all of them!!
I gotta love the rich jewel tones in the Spumoni set! Thanks for the great giveaway! Hope I win.
I love the Green Tea and Cotton Candy ones!
I love the sherbert one so much. I can see this made into a pillow in my bedroom.
I must say being biased towards green that the ‘green tea’ is my fav, but ‘cotton candy’ and ‘strawberry fields’ are tied for a close second.
Sherbet looks so pretty!
I have to go with Strawberry Fields…but love them all!
Bali Pops™ Fabric Strips – Spumoni I really like the variety of colors in this one!!
It’s a toss up between Green Tea and Cappuccino. I love working with batiks. They behave so nicely and they’re gorgeous, too!
Wow, how to choose just one? These are beautiful fabrics. I think that I will have to say Green Tea, Mocha Mint, or Cappucino. Thanks Kim very much for the chance to win! Take care, Michele
