I support this petition.Shame on you, this show is enjoyed by alot of people. The techniques shown on this show help each of us to grow in our craft. Please leave Simply Quilts in your line up. Seems like all the GOOD shows show up on the cancelation lists.

I support this petition. This is one of the main reasons we have direct tv. I love the quilting show by Alex Anderson. We need her show to stay on the air with lots of new things by her, It would be great if you took some of the other shows off and put more quilting shows on.

Paula Ellis said 12/23/05, 3:02 pm (verified)
I support this petition. This show and the illustration of basic and advance techniques is invaluable. Most of the craft shows available do not promote the on- going traditions that many of our ancestors used. To stop presenting the art of quilting is to allow for the neglect of our history. Please reconsider keeping Simply Quilts in your lineup.

Karen Yocom said 12/23/05, 3:01 pm (verified)
I support this petition. Why is it that there are scads of shows for carpenters and gardeners, but shows of interest primarily to women have a short shelf life?

Janett McGinnis said 12/23/05, 3:00 pm (verified)
I support this petition. If you do not realize how big quilting you should have been at the first quilt international show in Chicago two years ago. The convention center was overwhelmed with all the people. We all enjoy Alex Anderson and do not want to see reruns all the time. Please reconsider your decision.

I support this petition. I don't understand why you would cancel this show with the resurgence of quilting in the recent past. My only other source for this type of programming is PBS. It amazes me that you would allow network television to be "one-step-ahead" of satellite.

Joan Faulkner said 12/23/05, 2:25 pm (verified)
I support this petition. I was upset when you took the second daily showing off the air and voiced my opinion then. Now you are taking the only quilting and needlework show you have off the air also. I've heard that you are also cancelling Carol Duvall's show. Not everyone has the need or desire to redecorate a room with thousands of dollars of furniture, etc. While I understand that your sponsors of big ticket items bring in more revenue for you than sponsors of a quilting or crafting show, you MUST know that quilting is the passion of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people nationwide. You will lose the loyalty of these viewers and we will go elsewhere for our creative fix.

Please keep Simply Quilts. I tape Simply Quilts and run the tape during the day in my quilt shop, Patch As Patch Can. A lot of my customer watch Simply Quilts and come in asking for the product that was aired. Simply Quilts has helped with my sales but even aside frim that, I personally learned a lot from the show that has helped with my teaching quilting classes. Please save the show.

Simply Quilts is unique on television. There are not many shows which feature sewing or quilting, and some of the others I've seen are pretty lame. Alex Anderson is a great host, and I hope that you'll let her continue the wonderful contributions she makes to the many, MANY people who love quilts and quilting.
