JanTx,
Please keep on keeping on, steady as you go! I'm on your side. (Call me whatever you want, just don't call me late to dinner!)
But obviously it needs to be noted here that "sewist" is a decidedly "overseas" expression more than it is an American expression......it shows up all the time in the wonderful Aussie magazines, for instance. As does "stockist", by the way, which means one who stocks the supplies/tools/fabrics you seek. Known here as "seller"/merchant/dealer("what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!")/or merely quilt store.
A rose by any other name smells as sweet.

I think it's a stupid word personally. It evolved out of the blogging world. The new, young, hip bloggers use it all teh time. While I love the new, hip, young bloggers, I think the word is elitist and well... just plain stupid.

I'm with sewist. (My computer doesn't like that word. I'll have to "add to dictionary") We learn new words all the time, and a lot of them sound really strange if not disgusting until we get used to them.
