Many thanks to Loretta Martin from Loretta's Heritage Quilts, who put me in touch with the wonderful Mennonite women in Ontario who did the marking (transfer of the pattern) and stitching. Upon request for further information about the women, Loretta wrote a touching letter, which reads as follows:
Carey,
Your quilt was marked by Susanna Brubacher. Marking is a very intricate part of the quilt. Susanna is a very talented single woman, who is exceptional at marking. In the summertime she also does a bit of market gardening . . . She lives a very simple life. She drives horse + buggy + has no telephone . . . She is hardworking, happy + content. A real joy to know!
Minerva Clemmer is the lady that quilted your quilt. She is approaching 80 years of age. [!] She is a modern woman. Her quilting stitches are exceptional, especially when you consider her age. She is under a lot of stress right now. . . Often when a quilter is under such stress it is reflected in her stitches. I am happy to say Minerva's stitches were not compromised. If a customer has a quilt she wants in international competitions, she is the quilter that gets the job.
Enjoy your quilt!
Loretta
