Sher Scissons said 12/26/05, 1:18 am (verified)
I support this petition. I am seeing a trend of HGTV ~ new, sloppy and tasteless decorating. Simply Quilts included my generation. Please do not take it off the air. The younger generation still needs to know how to make a pie crust and a well done quilt block.

I support this petition. This is one of the best shows on HGTV. I don't know who is in charge of progamming at HGTV these days, but they seem to be cancelling all the good shows and replacing them with shows put on by some very talentless hosts. I guess I will no longer watch much of anything on HGTV

elizabeth Hewitt said 12/26/05, 12:12 am (verified)
I support this petition. It seems that HGTV shows to much interior decorating and not enough of items that crafters have made. Quilting is more than a craft it is a art, handed down my our ancestors. With their knowledge being given to us we are unable to carrying on the things that help hold our homes together. Quilting is a income for some of us. Ask Eleanor Burns where she would be today if it was not for quilting and shows Like Simply Quilts .

#6465

Linda L. Gurr said 12/25/05, 9:19 pm (verified)
Simply Quilts is the reason I began watching HGTV so many years ago. I record the HGTV & DIY episodes regularly. I can't think what possessed you to think the premiere quilting show on tv (cable or PBS) was't worth bringing back to so very many loyal watchers. SHAME on HGTV. Whatever the reason, you've lost a great deal of respect & viewers.
#6464

Eva G. Cooper said 12/25/05, 9:10 pm (verified)
I support this petition. WHO and on WHAT BASIS made the decision to cancel Simply Quilts? Betsy Ross would go straight to that person and say very plainly: You ought to be ashamed! Have some guts, and put the show on the air! Thousands and thousands of viewers have been blessed and that should be a sufficient reason, even if you have disregarded the multimillion dollar fabric and quilting industry that is being supported by quilters around the world.

I support this petition. I'd be very interested to learn just how this decision was made, and by whom...certainly not quilters! Alex appeals to both beginning and advanced quilters, has great guest artists and the HGTV website with instructions and pictures that we can print out is invaluable. We really need and want this program to continue!!PLEASE do not drop it, as planned. Drop Carol Duvall instead!!

I support this petition. This is the only decent show you have left on HGTV. It has always been the best. It is fresh, creative, and inspirational to all the quilters and helps us perfect our skills. It also insprires and teaches beginning quilters. And there are zillions of us out there in TV land. If you must stop a program quit wasting time on the silly That's Clever. It's not(clever). It's stupid.

Nellie Mueller said 12/25/05, 7:15 pm (verified)

Now you are canceling Simply Quilts!!!! WHY? I used to be a faithful watcher of HGTV. First you removed "Hints with Eloise", now "Simply Quilts". Whats next? Crafts with CArol Duval? Please reconsider your decision to cancel this wonmderful program
