These leaf coasters will brighten up any table! Sedef from Down Grapevine Lane shares the free pattern and tutorial at Diary of a Quilter. They’re great for using scraps or smaller cuts of fabric like fat quarters. I’m loving the bright florals she used on these coasters!

Freebie: Printable Christmas Eve magic pillowcase poem
With all the excitement and expectation of Santa’s visit, it can be hard for kids to go to sleep on Christmas Eve. Melissa from Polka Dot Chair created special pillowcases for her nephews, to be used only on Christmas Eve. When she gave them to them, she included a little poem explaining that they’re magic pillowcases to help them have sweet dreams. She’s sharing a free printable of the poem on her blog, plus she links to a tutorial she’s written for making a pillowcase, so you can start the tradition with your own kids.
