This program is the only reason I have a dish service. If it goes off, so does my satellite service. It is the best quilting program on the air. I have no interest in decorating or remodeling and little interest in crafts in general.

I support this petition. Please keep S.Q. on HGTV! I've learned so much from S.Q.it is a quality program. The show motivates me to continue with my quilting and looking for new techniques to improve my methods of quilting. Please rethink not renewing the show!

Cynthia Levis said 12/21/05, 9:50 pm (verified)
I support this petition. I have enjoyed this program for years now. Simply quilts is the program that opened the door to HGTV for me. Without this show I would have never started watching this channel. Maybe you should consider a different time slot for this very important and well loved Simply Quilts show.

I support this petition. Are you still reading the pleas? Is there something we don't understand? Enuff remodels/re-do/fix it up cheap - quilting is huge and there are many, many of us.

I support this petition. HGTV "used" to be my favorite station. Once Simply Quilts is gone, I will have even less reason to tune in. I was really upset when you discontinued Sandra Betzina's show and now you want to take away Simply Quilts. Not all of us care to watch the "renamed" fixer-upper shows.

I support this petition. It is the only thing that gets me to turn on the TV early in the day. Then it usually stays on. Without Simply Quilts, the three quilt groups I belong to in a town of about a thousand, would have much less to inspire us.
#3576

Michele Eastwood said 12/21/05, 9:38 pm (verified)
I support this petition. This is one of the few shows on the air that features quilting and teaches us all something about quilting. I think HGTV has many quilting viewers who will be very disappointed and may even stop watching if this show is cancelled. Please keep it on the air.

#3567

Ann Marie Governale said 12/21/05, 9:32 pm (verified)
I support this petition. Nearly 90% of my quilting purchases such as books, fabric, classes, tools are as a direct result of watching Simply Quilts for the past two years. I am a high school teacher and I tape Alex's shows religiously and watch them on the weekend as my treat. I cannot imagine not having this source of education, relaxation and motivation for my artistic side. I do tape several other shows that air weekly, not daily, and none compare to her program. Please reconsider your decision as I believe this will have an impact on HGTV. I for one plan a vigorous campaign to keep Alex on the air in the Long Island, New York area. I will gain support from my guild members and the members of the 4 quilt shops I frequent weekly.

#3560

Lois Jensen said 12/21/05, 9:26 pm (verified)
I support this petition. Not everyone has the capability to attend quilting classes from these teachers and this gives us a look at their award winning techniques. I tivo two programs a day, watch them both and save the ones with techniques I want to try. Every quilter I know watches Simply Quilts. Quilting has become a Billion Dollar industry - why would you ignore those thousands and thousands of watchers?

I support this petition. Even though I don't get the channel that Alex is on I couldn't imagine it not being aired. Keep the program airing for all the quilters or soon to be quilters out there
#3547

Jenny Williams said 12/21/05, 9:18 pm (verified)
I support this petition.HGTV is a valuable asset to all quilters, but especially to those of us that are not on a professional level. I have been disappointed in many of the other changes HGTV has made and if this show is not picked up with new shows, I will have little reason to continue watching the network. Please keep it in the lineup and introduce new shows. There is a lot more out there that hasn't been shown.

Pat Schoeppach said 12/21/05, 9:12 pm (verified)
Someone at HGTV needs to do a little research on the economic impact of the millions of quilters that view this program. Since it is dollars that drive programming, I would think that the show's advertisers would also be interested in that information. As a group we have billions in disposable income, which we like to spend on this creative and consuming hobby/passion/addiction.

I support this petition. I don't understand why the good quilting/sewing shows are being discontinued. First it was Sandra Betzina and now Simply Quilts. There is obviously a demand for these quality shows, I don't understand HGTV's position in eliminating them.
#3526

Rosemary Dickinson said 12/21/05, 9:05 pm (verified)

Peggy King said 12/21/05, 9:05 pm (verified)
