I support this petition. I love this show. Have watched from the beginning. It is the highlight of my day. So much information and so well done. Simply enjoyable. I have learned so many skills from Alex and purchased a lot of the books she suggests. There are so many of us out there and we spend a lot of money on Quilting products.I could write a much longer note.

I support this petition.This is one of the most interesting programs on daytime television. Are you aware that quilters spend millions of dollars every year? We are a huge force of money spending, intelligent people who will be very disappointed if this show is cancelled. I'd be interested to know what the reason is for such a decision and if any market research was actually done to justify it. This is quality television! PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT OFF THE AIR!

I support this petition. Simply Quilts is an educational program that benefits many and brings new thoughts and ideas with each program. If you want to drop something drop one of the many decorating programs. Alex Anderson brings things to quilters that we can not find in books. Her lessons are easy to follow and worth watching. She teaches more than quilting, she teaches concepts of color, design and new thoughts.

Doloris Lajoie said 12/23/05, 3:22 am (verified)
Alex Anderson is without a doubt one of the best educators in the country. The quilting industry is fortunate that she chose quilting as her subject matter, and her professional production and high-quality guests continue to inspire quilters, both new and experienced. HGTV should reconsider their decision and keep SIMPLY QUILTS within the family of programming they offer. I love this show!

Felicia Barosa said 12/23/05, 3:20 am (verified)

#5250

Mary Levee said 12/23/05, 2:49 am (verified)
As a quilt teacher, I am appalled that HGTV would cancel this program ... Alex Anderson should start her own on PBS ... HGTV seems to have lost touch with the majority of the public ... we are NOT all 20 or 30 years old and wanting to design our apartments over and over and over ... get with what has lasted throughout our history ... quilts. It is an industry that is booming. They need to add several more quilting shows instead of taking off the only one. Shame on you, HGTV

#5245

Patty Parry said 12/23/05, 2:45 am (verified)
I support this petition. Simply Quilts offers the widest variety of quilting styles, techniques & instructors of any quilting show being produced today. Outside of Public Television, which has dropped most of its crafts shows, there is no place on TV where quilters can find information, guidance & great tips!
#5244

#5242

Nancy Gaede said 12/23/05, 2:42 am (verified)
I support this petition.One of the reasons I have Dishnet is so that I can have HGTV and watch Simply Quilts. Quilting is a passion for so many of us, and there are few shows available that support our growth as quilters. I start my day with Simply Quilts and am sorry that the decision was made not to continue working with Alex. I would encourage those who are responsible for this to reconsider.

I support this petition. Please do not cancel Simply Quilts! I have watched and rewatched all the airings of this show and is a reason I have HGTV. This show provides a wonderful learning experience as well. If this is a business decision, other stations will probably create more quilting shows and we will all start watching other channels!
#5239

susan hudson said 12/23/05, 2:41 am (verified)
I support this petition. The Simply Quilts show is far superior to most of the "newer" HGTV programming and should most definitely be continued. From various message boards across the net I know that it has very wide support and customers who should be considered by HGTV.

#5213

Martha Bicknell said 12/23/05, 2:11 am (verified)
I support this petition. Simply Quilts on HGTV is the reason we changed to satellite from cable TV. I plan my morning around the 8:30 AM quilting program and never miss an episode. I live in a remote section of Maine and feel I get a quilt class every morning from Alex Anderson. Please reconsider and keep Simply Quilts with Alex Anderson on the air.
