Hoffman/Sulky Challenge quilts were displayed at the Original Creative Festival
Started in 1988, the Hoffman Challenge has grown to be a premiere traveling quilt, clothing, and doll collection. The quality of entries and a growing number of exhibit requests have led to the establishment of additional traveling collections. Currently, twelve collections travel coast-to-coast within the USA and to several Canadian locations. The Original Creative Festival featured two of the quilt collections.
