I support this petition. This woman and her show is an international icon in the quilting world. It is incredible that you would consider cancelling this when there is such a huge following of quilters with such a large purchasing power base. Please reconsider this move.

Christine Posin said 12/28/05, 5:00 am (verified)
I support this petition. This is THE main program that I tape each day and then watch during the evenings and weekends. This program provides a variety of techniques and ideas for the artistic and creative nature of fabric art. My sister started quilting two years ago and also tapes this show. There is a sub-culture of fiber artists that very few people realize exists. I have provided financial support to public TV -only because of Simply Quilts. If this show is cancelled, I see no reason to continue this support.

I support this petition.I can't beleive that HGTV would even consider removing this show. Quilting as a hobby is bigger than ever. You don't know the following that Alex has. What we really need is more quilting shows. Simply Quilts airs at 7:30 CST, I'm retired & I set my alarm so not to miss it. Please reconsider keeping her show. She has so much to offer to the new quilter and the advanced, she has quests on the show that with out her show we would never see what these great teacher have to offer. PLEASE KEEP SIMPLY QUILTS ON HGTV!!!!!!

I pay for extended cable just to watch Simply Quilts on DIY. I will boycott HGTV and never watch a show on that channel. Simply Quilts is not “simply” a quilt show, it is the best quilting show ever produced. I have learned how to quilt and create from this show.
