My friend Tamara and I have several things in common. We both love the color green and we both like to garden, cook and sew.

Tamara is new to quilting, so we decided to celebrate our favorite green holiday with quilting and canning.  She picked out some green fabrics from my fabric stash to start on a quilt. In  return, she helped me preserve mounds of fresh green beans by canning them.

Look at all of these gorgeous shades of green! Needless to say, we’ll be having lots of green beans with dinner.
