Have you ever?
I found this at Shelina’s blogg. Reading thru her “statements” it felt like we were some kind of twins. Well, and there are always something that doesn’t match.
All these questions, and they are all about quilting. Amazing. Either you quilt, or you don’t, my husband would have sad.
Anyway, I enjoyed all these questions. I learned something about myself: I’ve done a lot of different stuff during the years that I’ve been quilting. And I’ve loved it.
And still there were some question I did not understand:
What is a Journal Quilt, and a Sashiko, and I don’t know what a Ostritch RR is?
Is there anybody out there that can answer me?

I can help you with two of your questions:
First "Journal quilts" are normally an A4 size( 8.5 by 11 inches) and done in the portrait or vertical shape.They are a means of trying out new tecniques and methods and you "journal" or keep notes of what you did and why.....(there are 5 or 6 throughout my Blog for this year)
SASHIKO is a Japanes term aning developed originally to make warm garments by stitching two pieces of heavy fabric together......generally a dark indigo fabric with close stitching in a heavy white thread.The stitching patterns are based on things from nature bamboo,ocean waves,tortoise shell pattern,pampas grass; etc.
I think you also mentioned "ostrich" do tell me if you find out an explanation please.
Nina,
Thank you for completing my meme. You have a wonderful blog, and I plan to spend some more time visiting here.
You already have two answers, but let me tell you more.
Journal quilts are paper size quilts that were created by the quiltart newsgroup. You make one a month as a journal about your month, and to learn different techniques. They are displayed at different venues in the states.
Shashiko is different kinds of stitching made by the Japanese. This kind of stitching can be used to quilt quilts.
Ostritch is a round robin that you make all by yourself. Each month, the leader will tell you the theme for the round. Instead of sending your center to someone else, you work on it yourself, using the theme the leader told you. It is a way to work in a group without worrying about different skills or different preferences ruining your quilt.
