SNIPPET: Per the March-April 2006 issue of Dublin's "Ireland of the Welcomes" magazine, the 'Jeanie Johnston' quilt which commemorates the emigrant barque by the same name was to be on display in the Blennerville Windmill Visitor Centre, Blennerville, Co. Kerry, from April to October 2006. The quilt took over a thousand hours to complete in 2000 by the 'Jeanie Johnston' Quilting Circle, a group of local women who have been involved in quilting in the Tralee area of Co. Kerry for some years. The "Jeanie Johnston" made 16 trans-Atlantic trips in the 19th century and she never lost a crew member or passenger. The design of the quilt incorporates the ship at anchor in Blennerville, with a group of emigrants on the quayside waiting to board it; close by are the Blennerville Windmill and Workhouse and dotted on the hills in the background are the abandoned homes of famine victims. The quilt's lower border has famine scenes of women digging in search of potatoes and a mother holding her dying child. There are also crests of some of the seaports associated with the ship -- Quebec, New York, Boston, Belfast, Dublin and Tralee. The Visitor Centre, which is just outside Tralee, is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Further information, contact Nora TEAHON, Manager or see www.kerrygems.com/blennervillewindmill.
