Hi there!
I'm Gaby, the heart and soul of Tomte Studio, and your guide on this enchanting quilting adventure. Just like Little Red Riding Hood set off on her wintry journey through the woods, I was drawn to the magic of my grandmother's mountain retreat. A haven nestled amidst towering pine trees, where starlit nights painted the sky with wonder and the air was crisp with adventure. Let's embark on a nostalgic journey together, rediscovering the magic of childhood through the art of quilting. I can't wait to share this special experience with you!

Love Our Last QAL?
Our Whimsy Wonderland Quilt Along was a huge hit! Here's what some of our happy quilters had to say:
“This was a fun and exciting QAL. It had very clear directions and the blocks were creative in design. I was anxiously awaiting release day and getting started on the next block. It came together quickly at the end because the blocks were so large. I’m impressed with my quilt and hoping another Tomte QAL will come along that I’d like to participate in.”
“The Whimsy wonderland pattern was love at first sight when I discovered it and I absolutly loved choosing the fabrics et making the blocks every other week during a few months. It was challenging but the pace of the QAL was perfect. I never got bored and I was always impatient to start the next block. In the end I think this quilt is the most beautiful I have ever made. Thus I decided to keep it for ME ;-)”
“This was my first experience with FPP. I completed the free FPP block that you provide and was able to successfully complete the Wonderland blocks.”
“I have been a fan on Tomte Studio for years, and this QAL was wonderful. The patterns are great, so my final product looked really impressive. Thank you Gaby for a joyful adventure.”
