I support this petition. Can't believe you are cancelling this show. You need to rethink this one. There needs to be more programs for quilters - not less. A quilt is handmade with love and lasts forever - and becomes part of our heritage/ redesigning a room is temporary.

#2587

Shelly Estes said 12/21/05, 1:13 pm (verified)
I support this petition. Simply Quilts is the best - most other quilt shows are produced by PBS and not all PBS stations carry them. Do not abandon quilting during the height of it's revival!! Although I watch many programs on HGTV I would boycott the channel if Simply Quilts is cancelled.
#2586

cheryl Langshaw said 12/21/05, 1:13 pm (verified)
I support this petition.There are no other quilting shows on tv and they are always a learning tool no matter how long you have been quilting. Inspiration is the key, please don't take that inspiration away.

I support this petition. I can't believe you are even thinking about dropping Simply Quilts. I watch it every day. I admit that some of them have been on again and again, but I watch anyway. We need new sessions, not dropping the entire program. Please keep this program. Quilting has made a big revival in the last few years--this is the only HGTV show that I watch.
#2575

Sharon said 12/21/05, 1:06 pm (verified)

I support this petition. There are too few quilting programs as it is. The loss of Simply Quilts would be devastating and cause for the loss of many of your viewers in protest. Quilting is a part of history and culture that needs to continue to be passed along. Few of us will build a house but many of us will warm a home with a quilt!

I support this petition and ask you to keep it on. It seems so strange that you would cancel it when there is such an up swing towards quilting these days. I think your going after (canceling) the wrong show!
#2566

Bonny Bon said 12/21/05, 1:03 pm (verified)
I support this petition. I am so frustrated that quilting shows are being replaced even on public television with other things such as yoga. We do not need another house show nor do we need another crafters show. I live in semi-rural America. I can tell you there are thousands of quilters here but not one clay, or bead person. And I only know 1 person who actually does scrap booking.

I support this petition. Please don't cancel Simply Quilts only to put in one more home improvement show. The quilting audience in the US is HUGE and the only reason I tune to HGTV is because of Simply Quilts. ONce on in the morning, it stays on for most of the day. Without Simply Quilts on the air, I doubt that I will tune into HGTV. Really a bad idea.

Mary Shipman said 12/21/05, 12:52 pm (verified)
I support this petition. I watch the program, I record it. Simply Quilts led me to discover the joys of quilting it is the only quilting program I have available and I would very much miss the wonderful ideas and techniques if it is taken away. Please reconsider and keep this helpful and entertaining program on HGTV.
#2547

Jeanie said 12/21/05, 12:51 pm (verified)
I support this petition. Alex's show is one of the very few on HGTV where you are shown an actual process! Unlike some of the unreal/absurd real estate or rehab shows that are pure fantasy! HGTV, you need more process shows like Alex's, we are always innovating in the quilting population and Alex provides the conduit for the information to get to the greatest number of people!

Linda Stuempfle said 12/21/05, 12:46 pm (verified)
I support this petition. I TYVO all of the shows and watch them when I have free time. Needless to say, some of them I watch over and over. This is how we quilters keep up with what is going on in the quuilting world. So many of the shows are "product driven" but this one is not. There will be no reason for me to watch DIY and HGTV once there are no new programs.
#2540

Mary Lou Compton said 12/21/05, 12:45 pm (verified)
