This week on Not Your Granny’s Quilt Show, I’m so excited to finally sit down with Joshua Dunn of Lifting and Stitching, a maker who blends strength, science, and stitching in the coolest way possible. Joshua and I have spent plenty of time chatting behind the scenes, bonding over vegan food, lifting weights, and all the unexpected ways our creative lives overlap. His quilting inspiration often comes from the universe itself, using stunning images of space to spark bold, movement-filled designs. His quilt Red Giant, which hung at QuiltCon 2025, is just one jaw-dropping example of his cosmic creativity. Joshua also shares an exciting project for this year’s Quiltmas Spectacular quilt-along, where he’s one of the featured block designers! His candy cane–inspired block is rooted in a sweet childhood memory of hanging candy canes on the Christmas tree with his family, sentimental and festive all at once. With even more exciting projects on the horizon and inspiration that truly reaches beyond our home planet, Joshua is a maker you’ll definitely want to keep an eye on.

Meet Justin Stafford owner of Keaton Quilts! - Ep. 168
This week on Not Your Granny’s Quilt Show, my guest is Justin Stafford, owner of Keaton Quilt - the last standing quilt shop in New York City. Nestled in the heart of the Flower District, Keaton Quilts is a hub for fabric lovers, offering a wide selection of fabrics and notions, longarm quilting, classes, and the warmth of Justin’s passion for the fiber arts.Justin’s love for sewing began at age 12 with his very first quilt - a piece he still treasures today. Growing up, creativity was his safe space, and it has carried him into a thriving career. His work has been featured in the windows of Saks Fifth Avenue, he’s authored a book with a mini quilt kit, and he’s now collaborating with Liberty of London (a dream come true!) on patterns for their upcoming fabric launch. Justin is also developing his own fabric line, inspired by the city he loves mos - New York.Join us for this inspiring conversation, and be sure to visit www.keatonquilts.comto learn more about Justin and his shop.Want to see more?
