This is the view from our apartment:
This is the Sagrada Familia, designed by Antonin Gaudi. Construction started in 1882 and it may be done by 2026 (or so). I have always been fascinated by his work and now I get to see it up close. His buildings feel like living beings.
There are words on the Sagrada Familia… I didn’t expect that. And the fonts they are written feel modern.
We’ll take a tour of the inside in a few days.
Next up, we walked to Gaudi’s La Padrera, aka Casa Mila, an apartment building, and toured the inside. This is looking up through one of the atriums…
The rooftop is covered with magical ‘figures’…
In the attic you get a chance to appreciate how Guadi’s buildings are constructed. They may look random, the the math and engineering behind them if perfect, and astounding!
I am fading fast as I write this. I hope it all makes sense :-). Tomorrow we go Montserrat!
Pat C is this week’s winner. If you are not Pat, you probably still need a Bonus Buddy Ruler and you can find it, and more at pieceocake.com!

Alice Ronne is this week’s lucky winner of an Aunt Pam’s quilt sponge and a Color Wheel Poster.
The sponge is a handy hair and lint remover to have in your sewing room, class supplies, car, in your suitcase, etc.
If you are not Alice, click here to find Aunt Pam’s quilt sponge. They are inexpensive, you might actually want more than one :-). Click here to find the color wheel.
There’s a block in the secret project that has 16 points that meet in the center. I drew this block and knew it would be bulky. I also know that it is possible to make the points (mostly) match (there is that one that is way off)…
The problem is that even when the points match, the seam allowances on the back are still there…
It’s like a little mountain in the middle of the block. I could hammer the seams flat, but that’s not a great fix. You know what is a good fix? A circle appliqued over the center which allows me to cut away the bulk AND which is really cute on the block! Done!
In my younger, more hard-core days, I would have worked and worked to on these points. I feel much calmer now that I am willing to let go of some of my perfectionist tendencies :-).
