How a Simplified Approach to Quilting Is Generating 7-Figures | Mike O'Dell
#718 Quilting might not sound like a “high-growth” business at first glance — until you meet Mike O'Dell, founder of Legit Kits, a company turning quilt patterns into ready-to-sew works of art! In this episode, host Kirsten Tyrrel sits down with Mike to unpack how he went from working as a certified registered nurse anesthetist to building a fast-scaling product business that’s already crossed seven figures. Mike explains how Legit Kits simplifies quilting by shipping pre-cut fabric kits + foundation paper patterns, why he designs everything using straight-line “low poly” artwork, and how he’s grown through a mix of Shopify sales, quilt shows, wholesale distributors, and a thriving Facebook community. They also dive into the real behind-the-scenes of entrepreneurship — from COVID setbacks and supply chain chaos to ditching digital downloads due to piracy — plus why Mike says he’s not selling fabric… he’s selling dopamine!
What we discuss with Mike:
+ Legit Kits: quilt patterns + fabric kits
+ “Ready-to-sew” quilting made simple
+ Foundation paper piecing explained
+ Low-poly, all straight-line designs
+ Copyright + licensing approach
+ Nurse anesthetist to entrepreneur
+ Real estate + early business endeavors
+ First sales: boosted Instagram posts
+ Revenue streams: online, shows, wholesale
+ “Selling dopamine,” not fabric
Thank you, Mike!
