NEW YORK, Dec. 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- After the closure of Manhattan’s only quilt shop, Justin Stafford opened Keaton Quilts on West 28th Street in the flower district. Stafford is best known for his talent and work in the sewing and quilting space with a published book, quilt displays in Saks Fifth Avenue, a variety of accolades across the industry, as well as being a former BERNINA Ambassador.
When asked why the jump to managing a retail location, Stafford shared his passion and commitment to the quilting community, “I had been teaching classes at the previous quilt shop for seven years with the same group of individuals and I couldn’t say goodbye to the people that grew to be my family.”

The machine designed by the leading sewing, serger, and longarm manufacturer, BERNINA, is equipped with sewing and quilting features making it a fixture in Keaton Quilts’ classroom.
