Sewing machines were humming along yesterday at the Rutland General Store (RGS) during a quilting class.  Seven area women worked on lap quilts under the guidance of Ginny Zietlow from Lidgerwood.  Stunning pieces in vibrant violets, greens, blues and yellows and mauves and reds were carefully placed and sewn by the participants.  The photo at left shows Ann Erickson and Joanne Harris, both from Rutland, working on quilts with the guidance of Ms. Zietlow.  The quilts were not completed during the class but we look forward to seeing them on display soon.  Classes are held periodically at the RGS and another is being planned.
