a thought or two on this "stitch-n-bitch" legalities controversy

I was just thinking about this lawsuit, Deb Stoller, and Stitch and
Bitch...

Well... Deb Stoller's got a book out called "Happy Hooker"... if I were
Xaviera Hollander, I'd sue Deb Stoller... after all, Ms. X.H. is the
'original' Happy Hooker, snerk!

LOL,
Noreen

eggsackterly, Chris!
(like Katherine said, Stitch and Bitch has been around longer than Deb
Stoller... I asked my mom too, she said quilters have also used the
expression since at LEAST the 1940's!)

"Stitch and bitch", or "Stich'n'bich" were common terms used by my
Grandparents in the 1930's as my Grandmother organized church quilting bees
in Missouri and later in Kansas. It was a common term around Pentecostal
church quilting bees.

I never heard the term from my Aunts until I was 21. Then, I was more than
shocked into learn that my Grandmother and Aunts had been using such a
vulgar term as "Bitch." Sure, they had been using the term amongst
themselves, just not within earshot of impressionable children. So as a
child, I knew the term from my Grandfather, I just never dreamed that my
Oh-So-Proper Grandmother and "Maiden Aunt" had ever used the term.

As soon as I get the broom to stop sounding like a John Deere tractor, I'll
fly up and clean off your monitor, TOO, Katherine.

True, but Stoller is trying to stop the copywright, not get it. SFSE
(jerks) are trying to copywright the term stitch n bitch. Now that most
Yahoo groups have started calling themselves SnB_what ever city they are in,
Sew Fast Sew easy is stating that they have a copywright on the letters SnB,
SNB and snb. jerks.
