I support this petition.Check history with the Smithsonian to see the clout of the mere quilter on quilting issues. If not at HGTV, I'm sure who picks up the show next will be successful.They say if momma isn't happy the whole family isn't happy. There's gonna be alot of unhappy families out there.

I support this petition. Simply Quilts is the only program I watch regularly on HGTV and major reason we subscribe to cable TV. It has sparked and developed my interest in quilting. Please continue this excellent program. Instructional DVD's using previous programs would be a great item to market to quilters!

Judy Reavis said 12/22/05, 1:02 pm (verified)

Eileen Peterson said 12/22/05, 12:50 pm (verified)

Having a quilting ministry means staying on top of the latest information and technology. Simply Quilts was diverse and broad enough to encompass the industry. We need MORE quilting shows not less.
#4368

Y vette Buffington said 12/22/05, 12:36 pm (verified)
I support this petition. There no other quilt programs on cable or local tv with exception of PBS, there is one 30 minute and this is not enough. I hope your sponsors for the Simply Quilt show support.

Jody Skalski said 12/22/05, 12:34 pm (verified)

#4366

Sandi Hall said 12/22/05, 12:33 pm (verified)
I support this petition. I watch Simply Quilts everyday "twice a day" because of it HGTV is the station left on my tv most of the day. MY tv probabaly won't be turned on without Simply Quilts. Please make new episodes.
#4365

Kathryn Maier said 12/22/05, 12:32 pm (verified)
I support this petition. Simply Quilts is a daily part of the lives of quilters all over this country and I tape it every day. I've never heard anyone discussing one of your many decorating shows, but a week doesn't go by when friends or acquaintances or even relative strangers don't mention something they saw on Simply Quilts. How about taking off a few gawker shows instead. Keep Simply Quilts!

I support this petition. Please consider adding more quilt shows to your network. Simply Quilts will be sadly missed by many, many people. Re-runs will not have the excitement of new products, techniques, and designs.

#4360

Anita Beard said 12/22/05, 12:20 pm (verified)
I support this petition. We already have had to settle for only one new show a week and once a day only at that. For some thats the only way we know whats new on the quilting circuit. You currently have several shows of basically the same format, why not another quilting show to add to the line up? Thank You!
#4359

Patricia Smith said 12/22/05, 12:20 pm (verified)
Alex Anderson is a diamond in the world of quilting. She caters to every level of quilting by having guests of differing talents. She is sincere, caring and devoted to the education of future and current quilters. Not one to blow her own trumpet, she is dedicated to this craft, and it would be a great loss to the MILLIONS

#4354

Mary Ed Williams said 12/22/05, 12:04 pm (verified)
I support this petition. I do not have DIY and therefore cannot watch Simply Quilts on any network but HGTV. If this is taken off, I will not watch HGTV. Please have someone in your ivory tower check the number of quilters that are out there. We all love the show and watch faithfully.

I support this petition. Has any executive from HGTV ever been to a Quilt Show? If they knew how many people attend the shows and seminars, they might re-consider canceling Simply quilts.
#4347

Kelley Valade said 12/22/05, 11:52 am (verified)
NOOOOOOOOO! You can't cancel Simply Quilts! Its the best quilting show there is. I watch it every day, and its bad enough having only one new show a week. With no new shows I'll be forced to watch Eleanor Burns all the time on RFD. The decorating shows are tiresome. Keep Simply Quilts alive!
#4346

Rosa Agriesti said 12/22/05, 11:49 am (verified)
I support this petition. There are not programs for women espeically the ones who are home and want something creative to so for themselves and family. There is enough trash shows and advertisements some of which makes me ashamed to be a womn!!!!!!!Embrassing and degrading. Wonder how many advertisers realize that I have boycotted them. I know they don't but I get satification from it.

#4341

Donna Laing said 12/22/05, 11:35 am (verified)
I support this petition. I watch Simply Quilts every day. It is the ONLY HGTV show I watch regularly. Quilting is a $21 billion industry in the US. I spent over $25,000 on quilting supplies and machines last year, including a longarm quilting machine. Do your advertisers recognize that the arts and crafts are now no longer welcome on HGTV? It is all decorating all the time. I'm just not all that interested. If it's not quilting, it's not for me.
#4340

Jean Kaelin said 12/22/05, 11:34 am (verified)
I support this petition.I deplore this decision.We certainly don't need one more trendy decorating show with hip young things telling us how to redo a room in our homes.

I support this petition. I've so enjoyed Simply Quilts with Alex Anderson the last few years, and learned a great deal, especially from the art quilting episodes.

Cathy KAzanowski said 12/22/05, 11:18 am (verified)
I support this petition. As I work during the day, I tape the show, even the reruns, and watch them in the evening and on the weekend. Rather than one more decorating re-do show like Decorating Sense, Design on a Dime, I would hope HGTV could have a few crafting shows. First Carol Duvall and now Simply Quilts. Please retain the show. Thanks.

I support this petition. Please continue to encourage an age-old art form by renewing Simply Quilts. This show is marvelous for instructing and inspiring even the youngest (such as grade-school age) people to try their hand at the art of quilting. We need this art form to be carried on after us. Please do not let this art form die with us by canceling Simply Quilts! Thank you.
