I support this petition. Please, Please reconsider this. There is not enough quilt shows on your network. Simply Quilts is one of the few avenues we have to learn new quilt techniques. Please don't discontinue it!!! In fact bring on new episodes.

I support this petition. The cancellation of Simply Quilts by HGTV could prove to be the most catastrophic error in judgement made by the network. The number of quilters and the quilting industry are growing larger every day. If you think this is a long ago, old time, dead in the woods art just ask AQS how many quilts were donated by people all across the country to be given to the hurricane victims. Whoever has made this decision to drop the show from your line-up needs to get their head out of the sand. You have several timeslots for all other types of craft shows, gardening, landscaping and whatever, so why would you drop a program that is supported by such a significant number of viewers? The quilting industry holds TWO major markets each year for shop owners because there are continually so many new items, ideas and fabrics to showcase. 'Shop Hops' are springing up all over the country to help get new ideas, information and products to the consumers. Quilting Guilds continue to grow in size and numbers. Quilting provides women and men with a creative outlet that can be found in no other craft. Even those who work and can't view the program when it is telecast tape Alex's shows to watch them at a more convenient time for them. Should you decide to remove Simply Quilts from your schedule I will have no other reason to continue watching HGTV. This is the only show I watch on your station. And I will be most happy to relay this fact to my satellite provider.

I support this petition. Alex has shows that inspire and engage us and has the audience to support the highly skilled professionals we need to see. I am always amazed that they so willingly share their expertise with us. Most of cannot afford to go to the big quilt shows or attend their classes, so this enables us to learn from them. And Alex is a wonderful host who is skilled in her craft.

Lisa Prestwood Calkins said 12/28/05, 4:53 pm (verified)
I think HGTV underestimates the number of viewers for Simply Quilts. There is a rapidly growing fiber art business in the United States and Simply Quilts is one of the main television shows to support the art. It's the only one I watch. Even the reruns are useful and contain helpful information for the quilter or fiber artist. Please keep it on and keep it fresh!

I support this petition. I work full-time and it's difficult for me to take quilting classes, so I tape Simply Quilts. The show is invaluable to me, since most of the time it's the only new quilting information I get. While I do sometimes happen to watch other HGTV programming, Simply Quilts is the only show I "plan" to watch.

I am surprised that this show is being cancelled. The resurgence of quilting in the last 10 yrs has been phenomenal. It has expanded from scraps and bed covers to art hanging in museums. I think it would be a grave mistake to cancel a show like this with a teacher like Alex and the guests that she brings in.
