Signatures #2800 through #2900 for the Save Simply Quilts petition
Mindy Blankenbeckler said 12/21/05, 3:37 pm (verified)
I support this petition. Please keep Simply Quilts and consider showing it at a later time in the North Carolina area. We only recieve it on HGTV through Dish Network (you do not get DIY until the highest purchase level).
#2900

Barbara Webster said 12/21/05, 3:36 pm (verified)
I support this petition because I watch Simply Quilts every morning and have developed the love of quilting through this program. My mother, who's last efforts were the church quilting circle just passed away. I'm so inspired by this show to continue with this heritage. Please keep the new episodes coming.

Renelle Walker said 12/21/05, 3:36 pm (verified)
I support this petition. Alex Anderson has been such an inspiration to all quilters. Her show for me has taught me so much and made my quilting better, plus has expanded my quilting horizons and helped me try new and different things. Her show during the day for me is a break from my hectic day. It will be a sad day in the quilting community if you don't keep this wonderful quilting show.

I support this petition. Please rethink this position. There are a lot of people who get an education from this program. There are a lot of self-taught quilters who learn to quilt quicker and better.
#2893

Jan Anderson said 12/21/05, 3:33 pm (verified)
I support this petition. The only two shows I watch on HGTV are Simply Quilts and the Carol Duvall Show. If you drop SQ I will be much less likely to even watch HGTV. Please don't cancel SQ.

I support this petition. It is too bad that you can't see that you have a good show and still keep all of the home improvement, garden, etc shows on when most people don't really care about them. Remember that there is another segment of people out there that do care about retaining the old values of our forefathers like sharing the knowledge of sewing and sharing and fellowship around the quilting frame. Please remember those of us that are trying to keep the family values intact. Thank you.

#2872

Amy Bevilockway said 12/21/05, 3:22 pm (verified)
I support this petition. It is a shame that good quality shows are being cancelled and thrown by the wayside. Shows that promote education, encouragement, diversity, self esteen, sharing, family, compassionate service, consideration for others need to be in America's lives. Especially with the unsurity in this world. I encourage HGTV to rethink their decision and keep Simply Quilts in it's lineup along with their other wonderful shows. We are the consumers and have great power as such. Please consider those of us who are trying to preserve the great things about our lives, families and country.

I support this petition. I have watched this program for years and it has been my tutor in quilting. Whenever I had a problem in my quilt, the answer seemed to show up in a week or so on Simply Quilts. I used to hand write all of the quilt block instructiions, now I tape the shows. I refresh what I have seen on the reruns, but look forward to seeing the new episodes. Please keep the show on the air!!!

Gloria Shapiro said 12/21/05, 3:15 pm (verified)
I support this petition.I can't believe you are doing this again.First,it was cutting Simply Quilts down to once a day, then it was cutting any new Carol Duvall's shows and now you are cutting any new Simply Quilt's Shows. You are making very foolish marketing decisions. The people with the money are middle aged people, not the youngsters. I used to watch your shows exclusively, but as much as I love Carol Duvall's, all those reruns make me not care if I miss one. Before, I would watch both avidly since one was new and one was old.Most of your other 1-3 yr. old shows are a waste of my time. I noticed they are marketed toward much younger people (I am 56). When I ask if the 20's-40's people I know watch HGTV (other than those 2 shows), they never watch you.I wonder where you do your research? You will be losing out on thousands of viewers, just as you lost so many viewers because of your craft show cuts. The younger people are working and raising families. They don't have the time to devote to these shows like the middle aged and seniors.

I support this petition. I watch this program on a regular basis. I have two girls that are learning to quilt from this show and are very disappointed to hear that it will no longer show new shows. Please reconsider your choice the next generation needs good quality shows to watch to get them away from Disney.

Marybeth Rinzler said 12/21/05, 3:11 pm (verified)

Holly Melton said 12/21/05, 3:09 pm (verified)
Come on now, we can get rid of another show on HGTV such as those what will a $1,000,000 buy in real estate. Most of us will never purchase a $1m home. We like the finer things in life, QUILTS!!!!

Freda Goodwin said 12/21/05, 3:09 pm (verified)

#2844

Sue Pearce said 12/21/05, 3:09 pm (verified)
I support this petition. I work full time and I tape Simply Quilts and watch it at night with my husband. I think I should be jealous since my husband is in love with Alex Anderson. I was eager for my cable company to get HGTV. Once it became available you dropped Sandra Betzina now you plan to drop Simply Quilts. My reason for turning on your channel will be gone. I will also add my signature to a petition to my cable company to drop your channel in favor of a more interesting chanel.

Bonnie Cirincioni said 12/21/05, 3:06 pm (verified)

Tonia Nelson said 12/21/05, 3:05 pm (verified)
I support this petition. While I enjoy the 'home' shows (decorating, building, selling, buying etc etc) Enough is enough! When HGTV began, one of the premises was arts and crafts. They have slowly dissappeared. Please reverse this trend !!
#2831

Kathy Matthews said 12/21/05, 3:05 pm (verified)
I started watching this program while I was living in Australia....a very lonely American and it was something that I looked forward to each and every day. I now watch it every morning that I can.....and when I can't, I tape it for viewing when I get home from work. I have learned so much from this show and I would hate to see it end. There is still so much to see and do with this show....keep it on the air and going strong. Take off one of your DYI shows instead.....or limit other craft shows.....but don't take this one off the air. Please.
#2830

Cookie Marks said 12/21/05, 3:05 pm (verified)
I support this petition. Its because of this show I started to quilt. I am a very visual learner, and this show has shown me many techniques that a book alone can't do. Not only do I watch this show in the morning on HGTV-but again on DIY. Alex Anderson and her guests are a great inspiration to all quilters.

#2818

Marian Mathewson said 12/21/05, 3:01 pm (verified)
I support this petition. HGTV used to be my favorite channel, but recently has gotten so bizarre that Simply Quilts is the only show I watch regularly. What are you thinking???? The quilt world is a large world and spends a lot of money--that in itself should be incentive to keep SQ on the air!! I am very upset about this cancellation!

#2815

Sharron Cote said 12/21/05, 2:59 pm (verified)
I support this petition. This is a great show that is meant for beginners as well as advanced quilters. If the art of quilting is to be passed on to future generations, this show needs to be promoted even more. Our younger generation needs to have role models such as Alex Anderson. Styles of quilting may change but basics don't.

Bever Sloniger said 12/21/05, 2:59 pm (verified)
I support this petition. I'm a beginning quilter and I love the many techniques and ideas that I have learned from watching simply quilts.

I support this petition. Alex Anderson and the production staff of Simply Quilts does a wonderfully presented and very informative program. I plan my days off around this show and would tape it when I wasn't home if I had the capability. I won't have a lot of reason for turning to HGTV other than maybe NewYears day for the Rose Parade. Please keep this program on the air. There are not enough quilting related shows. If you must cut a show, cut a Makeover show.
