I support this petition. Quilting is a very lucrative business and I'm not sure you're aware of the vastness of your audience. Some of us don't get DIY or PBS and rely on Simply Quilts.

Susan Stickle said 12/20/05, 12:22 am (verified)
Alex's show introduced me to HGTV and if it is gone there is nothing left of your programming to induce me to tune in. Not everyone is interested in decorating and design yet many quilters also stayed tuned to watch these shows. There is no substitute for Alex.

I support this petition.Do not cancel Simply Quilts. In fact you need to up the show to a hour. This show is part of my morning, you learn something new all the time!! We do not need another show about black living rooms, that' s who you need to CAN. But, I guess Alex's and her show is too normal. Thanks, Bobbi Klein

#84

Suzanne Martin said 12/20/05, 12:11 am (verified)
I support this petition because there is no other quilting program as good as Simply Quilts--bar none! Alex Anderson has continued to educate and inspire us with her own extensive knowledge and her wide variety of talented guests. Simply Quilts was the only reason I got satellite TV and HGTV seven years ago (in the days when you had to buy the equipment) It continues to inspire me today. Please don't lose this treasure you have.

I support this petition. Please do not cancel Simp;y Quilts. It is the only show on HGTV worth watching. I don't think that keeping a 30 minute show will cause you to lose money. You will lose so many viewers and money by cancelling Simply Quilts!

I support this petition. I belong to a quilt guild with 650 members in - we have a huge buying power. It would be a shame to ignore this group - I would think that the advertisers would hate to lose them. I personally would be at a loss without our quilting shows and especially Simply Quilts. Please reconsider your decision.

I support this petition. This is a wonderful show -- well done, and well hosted. It is the only sewing show left on HGTV...How many more house makeovers do we need to see? Alex has wonderful guests -- with great ideas and instructions and my friends and I have learned much from it. I also learn much about my machine's capabilities from it-- I have a Bernina, just like Alex. Please son't cancel this show --- in fact, bring on other sewing shows as well!

Cancelling Simply Quilts is one of the worst decisions that HGTV can make. Millions are spent a year on quilting, fabric, and notions. I think the fabric shows should boycott HGTV. What would happen to all the decorating shows then?? They wouldn't have any fabric to decorate with. My degree is Interior Design, but the OVERabundance of design shows is sickening!!!

Why cancel this classy show that teaches so much and have so many trashy designer shows with decorators glueing feathers to a wall? Quilts are an art and do so much to make a house a HOME, Aren't you supposed to be the HOME and Garden channel?

Simply Quilts is the only quilt show I can depend on no matter where I am in the country. Alex is an invaluable asset to the quilting community. To replace her with another redundet trendy decorating show would be ridiculous. Quilting has been active and thriving for centuries. The rest of the crafts are accumulating dust in the storage unit and most of your decorators'wouldn't know how to work with a REAL person's budget if their lives depended on it. If anything, you should be ADDING quilt shows.

I support this petition. Please reconsider your decision to cancel Simply Quilts. This show is a very valuable learning tool for all quilters, both new and experienced. Simply Quilts has become one of the only shows I watch on HGTV, and if it's replaced with yet another decorating show, I'm afraid I'll have to delete HGTV from my television lineup altogether.

I support this petition. The cancellation of Alex Anderson's show, "Simply Quilts" comes as a great shock to hundreds of thousands of viewers like myself who depend on and appreciate the instruction that is given on each and every show. Every woman I know is an avid viewer and would be greatly dissapointed to lose the best quilting show on television. Why get rid of this unique programming enjoyed by so many? HGTV has entirely too many home dec shows. How would the sponsors feel if we all decided to "cancel" all purchases associated with HGTV's programming? Rethink what you are doing.

#32

Nancy Pierce said 12/19/05, 10:05 pm (verified)
I support this petition. feel the cancellation of Simple Quilts is a major mistake. The large audience that quilt has a great buying power and products that assist us will go unpurchased. For example... On Monday, Alex and her guest showed a ruler with a groove to assist with making cording. I had never heard of that item and will look for it in the future. A person can only decorate their homes so many ways, but the artistry of quilting is endless. Please reconsider the cancellation of Simply Quilts
#31

Jeanne Stewart said 12/19/05, 10:01 pm (verified)
I support this petition. Simply Quilts is the only COMPLETELY INSTRUCTIONAL quilting show on TV. PLEASE RECONSIDER YOUR DECISION TO REMOVE "SIMPLY QUILTS." Simply Quilts is what got me started in quilting. Taking it off would be doing your viewers are major disservice. Though the reruns on DIY are appreciated, the new shows every Monday are essential to keep us up to date on new products and techniques.

I support this petition. Keeping Simply Quilts on the air cannot POSSIBLY hurt you from making a profit. There are too few quilting shows on the air as it is. Simply Quilts is the best show and the only show that OUR hobbist have. You have enough remodeling shows, scrapbooking shows,etc. on the air adding another would be redundant. You need more variety to keep me interested anymore.

I support this petition. Has anyone at your network considered how many thousands of both national and international viewers will simply boycott watching HGTV completely if this show is cancelled? This show fills so many needs on so many levels, I cannot imagine how your management could possibly conclude that YET ANOTHER decorating, craft or cooking show could in any way replace Simply Quilts. BAD JUDGEMENT HERE !!

Simply Quilts is a one of a kind television programs, it has opened the door to many new quilters. There is not and probably never will be another show like this one. I have found in my quilting circle that all of my friends watch this show on a daily routine. Please reconsider.

We know you most likely have ALREADY replaced it and have your airing in order for the new season but please take a moment and RE_THINK your decision on this great show...Some shows (like Scrpabooking) have several time slots delegated to them..Why can't we keep our 30 minute slot for Simply Quilts???
