Library Tidings by Kevin Mittge Fresh In The Case SALMON W/BROWN SUGAR & MUSTARD GLAZE INGREDIENTS: 3 tablespoons light brown sugar 1 tablespoon honey 2 tablespoons butter 1/4 cup Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon finely grated ginger Vegetable oil Salt and freshly ground black pepper 8 salmon fillets, 6 ounces each This Week: Salmon, Snapper, Ling Cod, Perch, Bay Shrimp, The Practical Guide to Patchwork: New Basics for the Modern Quiltmaker By Elizabeth Hartman Book review by Susie Voth Not all of us are people who make things. Sometimes what stops us is the unknown, the untried, the unfamiliar. Elizabeth Hartman sets down all the basics of quiltmaking in this book. From gathering sup- plies to color theory, to choosing fabric to quilt construction, to quilting and binding, she explains it all in easy to under- stand steps. I am impressed by the clarity of Hartman’s explanations and instructions. I especially appreci- ated the sidebars that she calls “tips.” I am a self-taught quilter. I fig- ured out by trial and error what Hartman has included as clearly written “tips.” Oh how I wish I had this book when I started quilting! The first section of the book is called “All the Basics.” Hartman explains quilt vocabulary, quilt- ing tools and useful supplies, how to plan a quilt, and quilt construction. The first half of the book is dedicated to helping the novice quilter understand the ins and outs of quilting.

Beginning on page 45, Hartman introduces the projects which she delineates by the diffi- culty of the project. “Projects to Get You Started” are for beginning quilters. The quilts in this section are all straight lines, squares, or rectan- gles. If you can sew a straight line, you can successfully make one of these quilts. The next section is called “Projects for the Confident Beginner,” and things get a tad more difficult. But directions are clear and there are tips, many tips. The final section is called “Intermediate-Level Projects” and these quilts offer more of a challenge to the quilter. One of the things I really liked about this book is that Hartman doesn’t ignore the back of the quilts. Each of the 12 quilt proj- ects has directions for the quilt backs. Some are easy, some are more complicated. All compliment the beautiful quilt tops. 5 A Painting with John Leasure Thursday June 16, Saturdays (June 25, July 2, 9, 23 and 30) , Fridays (July 15 ) 9:00 am - 12 noon Contact: jnleasure@hotmail.com or 541-991-2754 for details and fees.

Ordnance Brewing is an outlier, a brewery out past the far edges of Pacific Northwest population cen- ters, far from the region’s corporate breweries and dense brewer communities — literally in the middle of a beer desert. As such, there are no pre- determined expectations, no unspoken rules or formulas to be held accountable to. It’s the freedom found in the wide-open spaces of the Columbia Plateau and expansive farmland. In this remoteness, Ordnance brews freely, with an innovative spirit, a farmer’s work ethic and the creativity of someone living off the land. The owners, brewer and brewery work together for one common mission: Brew distinct, honest and simply enjoyable beer. Come to the free tasting and meet the people who brew it. VOICE YOUR OPINION!
