The West Clare Cancer Centre is delighted to have been gifted this beautiful piece of history. It is now up on our wall here in the centre in Kilkee. Many thanks to An Fáinne Women’s Group. Please call into the centre at any time to see this amazing piece of work by women of our community. We look forward to seeing you.
The women who crafted this Quilt were part of An Fáinne Women’s group. This group of women came together in 1992 to support each other and the women of the Loophead Peninsula. They were original in their thinking and participated in many innovative initiatives which were of benefit to women and their communities.
One of the many exciting projects which they undertook was making this quilt under the skilful and creative guidance of Anne Berry of Rainbow Cottage Crafts in Ross, Kilbaha. Each of the women designed and crafted a square of the quilt. This was done during the winter months of 1995/96 in Anne Berry’s cottage and also in An Teach Ceoil, Carrigaholt.
It was a privilege to be part of this project and to have known and worked with such a wonderful group of women.
We remember with fondness Mary McGuire, Anne McMahon, Kathleen Nealon and Val Considine who are no longer with us.

When skies grow dark and paths unclear,
Hold tight to hope, for light is near.
A gentle strength lies deep inside,
A flame that storms cannot divide.
In moments heavy, worn, and tried,
Remember loved ones by your side.
Each breath you take, a victory won,
A step toward a rising sun.
Lean on the hearts that lift you high,
Together, you and they will fly.
For in this journey, brave and true,
A brighter dawn will welcome you.
