Allmusic.com says Cathy Fink wrote SEWING A NAME, and Claudia Schmidt & Sally Rogers recorded it on their album "While We Live" (Red House Records RHR45, 1991). It's still available, according to Red House Records.

I wasn't able to identify any other recordings.

I was able to transcribe this much from some samples:


I'm saving this name like a book from the past.
It has tattered edges and a spirit that will last;
I'm saving this name for the world to see
That the life you lived is now part of me.

We're joined in (or "joining"?) a family of others who sew,
And watching a beautiful artwork grow,
And trying to see that the world won't ignore
The rights and the loves we've been fighting for.
