One quilt, titled “Y2K Millennium Charm Quilt,” has a fascinating history because it took more than 22 years to be completed with 2,000 pieces. These individual pieces came from many parts of the United States, as well as Guam, France, Russia, Saudi Arabia and other countries.

The Geneseo Quilt Gallery is in the upper mezzanine of the Smith Studio and Gallery in downtown Geneseo. Exhibitions are changed seasonally.

Admission to the exhibit is free to the public. Hours at the Smith Studio and Gallery are generally 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday. Visitors can call 309-945-5428 to confirm that the gallery is open or to set up a private viewing.

I Brought Cookie Salad To One Potluck—Now Nobody Lets Me Bring Anything Else

Creamy vanilla pudding, fluffy whipped topping, juicy mandarin oranges, sweet pineapple, and crunchy cookies come together in the kind of Midwestern classic that somehow lands between side dish and dessert. Every spoonful is cool, creamy, fruity, and packed with crisp cookie pieces that soften just enough without disappearing completely. The citrus keeps the mixture bright, the pudding makes it velvety, and those chocolate-striped cookies turn an ordinary bowl of fruit into the one dish everyone recognizes from church suppers and family reunions. It is playful, nostalgic, and exactly the kind of recipe that makes people smile before they even take the first bite.

PODCAST: This Is What The World Looks Like With A Sociopath In The White House

Listen on Spotify | Listen on Apple | Listen on iHeartMedia | Listen on Amazon. He cares more about his Weaponization fund, being protected from any federal government investigation, winning his club championship, and personally making as much money as he possibly can than he cares about anything or anyone else. He is humanly incapable of caring about anything but himself. Having a sociopath like this in the White House is a dangerous thing for us and the world.

Teddy Roosevelt. Harry Truman. Dwight Eisenhower. They were not always popular. They certainly never wielded “unitary executive” authority. But they all tried to lead our big, complicated nation and faithfully execute the laws passed by Congress.

Trump's Long, Hot, Wet, Dumb Weekend

I Always Add This One Unique Thing To My Tuna Salad, and My Family Loves It

Cucumber tuna salad only turns watery for one reason: too much moisture from the cucumbers or the tuna. Mini cucumbers keep seed content low, and if regular cucumbers are used instead, scooping out the seeds first prevents the salad from getting soggy. Draining the tuna completely before mixing does the same job on the other side of the bowl.
