About
Hello, I'm Danae — founder of Olive & Elle Quilt Co.
My quilting journey started the way great things often do, with generous friends and an open invitation. They offered to teach me the craft and I eagerly took them up on it, novice reservations aside.
For over a year we gathered together once a week to sew, and I fell in love immediately — with the fabric, the rhythm, the quiet satisfaction of watching something beautiful take shape — and never looked back
Over the years I kept hearing a familiar worry from fellow quilters: Will these colors actually work together? How do I know what I'm choosing online will look right in real life? Selecting fabric and matching colors is one of the most anxiety-inducing parts of the process — and it was keeping people stuck in the questioning phase instead of doing what they love, piecing.
That's why Olive & Elle kits are built around the finished product. When you can see exactly where you're headed, the doubt disappears. You skip the second-guessing and go straight to your sewing machine — confident, inspired, and ready to create something you'll be proud of for years to come.

The O&E Standard
At Olive & Elle we believe that the beauty of a quilt lies in the harmony of its parts. Our mission is to simplify the creative process without sacrificing the "Modern Heirloom" quality that makes a quilt worth keeping for generations.
1. Expert Curation & Color Mastery
The most daunting part of a new project is often the first step: choosing the right fabric. We leverage over a decade of quilting experience and a deep eye for "Modern Traditionalism" to do the heavy lifting for you. We don't just pick colors; we curate palettes that balance depth, texture, and movement, ensuring your finished quilt looks professional and cohesive.
2. Premium Quality for Modern Heirlooms
We are uncompromising when it comes to materials. By sourcing only Premium Art Gallery Fabrics and other top-tier manufacturers, we ensure that every kit contains fabric with a superior hand-feel and longevity. A quilt is a commitment of your time and resources, and we provide the high-quality materials to honor that investment.
3. Streamlined Creativity
Your sewing time is precious. The O&E Standard means providing meticulously organized and labeled kits that eliminate the friction of prep work, allowing you to move directly to the joy of the stitch.
4. Bridging the Gap Between Eras
We take the timeless motifs of traditional quilting—the blocks our grandmothers loved—and reimagine them with contemporary aesthetics. This blend ensures that your work feels at home in a modern living room while carrying the soulful weight of a handcrafted legacy.
The O&E Promise: Whether it’s a curated mix of premier manufacturers or a focused designer collection, every bundle is hand-selected to ensure your creative journey is as beautiful as the final product.
