I wouldn't watch HGTV at all if it weren't for my favorite show and Alex Anderson. She is know all through the quilting society.

I support this petition.This would be a serious injustice to cancel to discontinue new episodes of Simply Quilts. Since I started quilting a few years ago, this is the only show that has stayed on T.V. consistently. Others seem to come and go rather quickly. It is also one of the best there is. It offers a variety of quilting projects with something for everyone. I always look forward to new episodes since I have seen most of the others several times.

I support this petition. Cannot believe that this was taken off the air. It is the way I started my day every morning. In fact I would like to see more quilting shows like this. Love Alex and her guests. There's a lot of other shows you could take off the air but not this one. This one is one of a kind, so why take it off when there are way too many decorating shows. Please continue Simply Quilts. Thank you.

Considering the quilting explosion here and in other countries, I would think that HGTV would want to support this 5 billion dollar industry!!! Alex Anderson possesses the knowledge, skills and talent with a girl next door personality that makes everything supurb!!!

I support this petition. I watch Simply quilts as many times a day as I can HGTV & DIY. I tape the sessions to refer back to... for their tips. Quilting is one of the fastest growing in-door hobbies, why would you want to remove it from view? If you remove it from HGTV, there would be no reason to turn it on. Manytimes I also watch Carol DuVall Crafts after Simply Quilts........ Please reconsider!

I have learned so much about quilting and would hate to not have this valuable tool as a resource! Some may think this show a waste of time, but for quilters, it is not!

I support this petition. I have been watching Simply Quilts for years, even when it came on at 6:30am on weekends. The show was my primary teacher when I first began quilting and did not know any other quilters. I am very saddened to hear that no new episodes will be aired. I have been watching it for so long and although I do not mind reruns now and then, I do not care to only see reruns over and over again. There is no other quilting show on HGTV, but tons of home improvement shows - which I care nothing about. Actually Simply Quilts was about the only show I cared to watch, and would sometimes watch the Carol Duval show just because it came on after SQ. How many home decorating and improvement shows do we need???? HGTV is becoming one long home improvement/decorating show. Give us quilters a break here - we pay our subscription fee just like everyone else!!!

I support this petition. With the worldwide popularity of quilting, I don't understand this cancellation. The quilt convention in Houston, Tx. is the largest convention for Houston each year. Houston has many conventions but the Quilt Festival surpasses all of them in attendance. This emphasizes the interest in quilting. Simply Quilts is pretty much the only show I watch on HGTV.

Simply Quilts is what causes me to turn on HGTV -- and I usually end up watching other programming as a result. Simply Quilts is an inspiring program for anyone interested in quilting, from beginner to expert level. No one does a better job that Alex! You will be doing a disservice to a lot of your viewing audience if you discontinue this program. I urge you to reconsider.
