I support this petition. You have no other shows that offer quilters a venue. If you must have only one keep Simply Quilts. If veiwers have decreased I'm sure it is due to continuous repeats.

Willa Fuller said 12/22/05, 3:10 am (verified)
I support this petition. This is the only show I see on tv that covers both traditional and innovative quilting. I became and HGTV fan because of Alex Anderson and Sandra Betzina.. now the last vestige of the sewing arts in in jeopardy. Please seek sponsors to continue this popular show.

I support this petition. I watch this show every day. If it were not for this show and Carol duvall, I would not watch HGTV at all. Please do not cancel Simply Quilts. I am so disappointed over the cancellation of Carol Duvall that camcelling Simply Quilts will stop my watching altogether. There is not another source of ideas, inspiration and technique available.

I support this petition. This is one of the shows that got me started in quilting. It is the only reason I stayed watching HGTV. By removing the show you remove my reason to watch any hgtv shows. Sometimes I would watch other shows before or after just so I didn't miss simpy quilts.

Nancy Lersch said 12/22/05, 2:42 am (verified)
It is disappointing to hear of HGTV's plan to air reruns rather than new episodes of Simply Quilts. Alex Anderson and her guests offer more than the how-tos of quilting; they encourage the imagination and creativity of viewers and inspire many toward new adventures in quilting. Freshness comes from new episodes not the same-old, same-old of reruns. I hope HGTV will reconsider its "Simply Quilts Reruns Show" plan.

I support this petition. Simply Quilts is one of the few totally quilting shows that are left on the air. In past years many others have been cancelled. They have been sorely missed. While shows like Sewing With Nancy are great, many of us sewers aren't into sewing clothing and such. Quilting has enjoyed a huge resurgance in popularity over the past several years and shows like Simply Quilts were/are a great inspiration to get budding quilters blooming. Please don't take away the last of a great bunch of very instructional, even inspirational shows. Many veiwers, like myself, started out watching HGTV just for Simply Quilts and shows like Carol Duvall's crafting show. I know that Carol's show has already been dropped. I'm afraid without these two great shows I may not have a reason to again tune into HGTV. Lisa Reynolds

Susan Ainsworth Smith said 12/22/05, 2:20 am (verified)
I support this petition. Why Simply Quilts? Many people have already pointed out the plethora of decorating programs on HGTV, which is overkill. Additionally, you have Carol Duval on several times per day. How many times per day can one stand to watch making beads and trinkets out of polymer clay? Quilting is a billion dollar industry and I will stop watching HGTV if Simply Quilts is cancelled. I will be passing along this website to my small quilt group, many of whom watch Simply Quilts. Also, my quilt guild, which is 500 plus people will be directed to follow suit.
