Matthew Boudreaux is a sewist, crafter, teacher, speaker, designer, advocate, firm anti-racist, LGBTQIA+, and (best of all) Helena’s dad, and is probably better known as Mx. Domestic. They have taken us on their journey as they navigate what it means to be a queer, neurodivergent voice and advocate in the quilting space. Matthew's goal is to create a truly inclusive space for all makers to enjoy. As they have grown and learned about themselves, they have been vulnerable in sharing the often scary road to finding self-love. Matthew has so many new things coming up to share with the quilting world, so keep an eye on their socials! Please enjoy! Find Mx.

Kate Brown is the creative force behind Kate Brown Quilts where she publishes modern quilt patterns and tutorials. She focuses on using techniques that don’t require precision but deliver precise results, and values making quilting fun, accessible, and engaging for a variety of skill levels. Introduced to quilting in her 20s, Kate fell in love with foundation paper piecing (FPP) and its endless possibilities. Not all of her patterns use FPP, but many do. Beyond design, Kate loves connecting with fellow quilters, sharing experiences, and exploring new techniques together, making quilting not just a craft but an energizing blend of community and art. She started Quilt Quest 2024 with the idea of inspiring makers to get projects done and bring some new energy to her community.
