I support this petition. Simply Quilts is the best quilting show available. It not only teaches quilting techniques, but gives us the history of quilting and allows us to "try something new." Please keep this show on the air and order new shows.

I support this petition. I have HGTV on first thing in the morning to watch Alex and leave it on to watch other shows during the day. If you don't buy new shows of Simply Quilts to air, I won't be watching anything on HGTV. I guess I won't see any of the sponsors' ads, either.

I support this petition. Simply Quilts is an important show to help my wife and I begin our new buisness. We intend on spending over $40,000 in the next year on a long arm machine and supplies. Plus I am building a 1,000 sq. ft. sewing/quilting room for her. You can add another $100,000 for that. I depend on that show for good ideas, advice, and products.

I support this petition. As a quilter for more year than I care to admit, quilting teacher and quilt designer, this show not only helps me but it also helps my students. As someone who lives "off the grid" via my satellite dish, this is a way to help me connect with the quilting world. Please keep the show on the air.

I support this petition. As a quilt shop owner I find this show to be very beneficial to my customers. The show keeps the art of quilting alive. Simply Quilts is one of the few shows readily available to quilters. I believe it would be a programming error on your part to discontinue new shows of Simply Quilts. There is certainly no balance with your programming as it now stands. Be eliminating this show you are virtually eliminating a large population of your viewers.

#1047

Ethel Polsdofer said 12/20/05, 7:03 pm (verified)

I support this petition. Quilting is a fast growing hobby and business. The quilters throughout the world watch Simply Quilt each week, including your re-runs to learn and motivated by Alex Anderson and her guests. Taking this life line program off the air is a big mistake. Please keep it on the air!
#1042

Christine Jensen said 12/20/05, 6:59 pm (verified)
I strongly endorse this petition to renew Simply Quilts. The quilting community is a strong community of creative and talented people. To discontinue this program will eliminate many viewers from your programs. Your programming should be well balanced among the variety that you carry. Unfortunately, you rely too heavily on home dec programs, which are informative, but not necessary in such abundance. Do not cancel Simply Quilts, is is an informative, educational, and entertaining program about our passion. Encourage your sponsors to view quilting as the highly worthwhile creative endeavor that it is. Keep Simply Quilts ANDyour programming by adding other such programs.

Don't cancel Simply Quilts. Did you know quilting is a 10 BILLION dollar industry? You have no idea how many of us watch the show. The internet and blogosphere discuss it endlessly. It's the only reason I watch HGTV and then I leave the channel on and watch whatever comes up while I sew. Don't make this big mistake.

I support this petition. HGTV take note! There are over 20 MILLION active quilters in the US and I think you're about to find out how many of us love Alex's show! You have more than enough decorating shows on, we don't need another one. In fact, most of us create our own taste in quilts because we don't like the decorators choices!

Julie Grillo said 12/20/05, 6:30 pm (verified)
