I support this petition. I wondering why a program with such a good following would not be reviewed. It's broad appeal to quilters of all skill levels presented by teachers who know how to teach deserves an even broader audience if at all possible.

I support this petition. Why would HGTV stop producing quality programming? Is there a underlying problem with supporting men and women who express themselves in fabric and really enjoy being entertained and informed by a truely gifted person like Alex Anderson. What is going on? Do you want me to stop turning to HGTV for anything?

There is a real lack of shows for quilters that both teach and inspire. Quilting is an art and a craft that will be lost to future generations if it is not encouraged by accomplished quilters today. Please reconsider your decision to cancel the Simply Quilts series, and help preserve this important American art!!

Connie Condrell said 12/30/05, 5:52 pm (verified)

I support this petition. The comments made here by the women who have already signed this petition say it all. There are no more "words" that I can add except to say that I am a sewer and HGTV is no longer a place for me to go to improve my craft. Reruns are great if you're watching Lassie. Showing me a Quilting show in the year 2006 that was actually filmed in 1999, isn't doing me much good. Quilting is a progressive thing. You know...you learn something and you move on. Fabrics and fabric care change. New quilting tools and techniques are being developed all the time. "Simply Quilts" is an excellent resource to keep up with those things and Alex Anderson is doing a great job. Now, we'll actually have to go out and spend money to keep up with these changes! Hope that doesn't cut into out cable budget!

#8276

Bonnie Browning said 12/30/05, 5:38 pm (verified)
I am asking you to reconsider your decision to not have any more new Simply Quilts Shows and to only show reruns during 2006. What fits better with HGTV. Our quilts are all about Home -- quilts that decorate our beds and walls; Garden -- guests on SQ make some beautiful garden-themed quilts; and TV -- you have had one of the most loyal of TV audiences that other companies can only wish for. Please listen to your viewers. We want Simply Quilts and we want more new shows with Alex Anderson. Thanks for listening. Now please take the right action and order 26 more new programs from SQ.

Simply quilts is very important to the quilting community as a way to see teachers and designers that are normally not in my area. The show should be expanded not canceled!

Geraldine Brooks said 12/30/05, 4:33 pm (verified)
I support this petition. I am a beginning quilter and Simply Quilts and Alex have been a great inspiration and educational tool. I never knew that there was so much to learn about the art of quilting. I am a firm believer that you can never learn everything there is to learn about quilting without the aid of such a show as Simply Quilting. Hey, it even got my husband interested in quilts and their art and beauty. Please DO NOT TAKE SIMPLY QUILTS OFF OF HGTV.

#8230

Sue Cook said 12/30/05, 3:37 pm (verified)
I support this petition. I look forward to this show daily. It is like my morning "fix". Retirement for me was the opportunity to see the show "live" rather than taping the show each day. In our monthly quilting group, there was always something to discuss from "Simply Quilts". Those of us who love to create use this show daily!!! Please do not cancel!
#8229

Connie Darkow said 12/30/05, 3:36 pm (verified)
I support this petition. This show is one of the few reasons that I will pay for cable TV. Please do not take this valuable and informative show away from us. We need shows like Simply Quilts to feed and nurture our creativity. It makes us better Moms and wives to have our creative outlets, so please, please do not take this valuable resource away from us!
#8228

Becky Smith said 12/30/05, 3:35 pm (verified)
I support this petition. Over the last several years I have learned more about quilting by watching Simply Quilts than with any class I have taken. Quilting and sewing are basic skills for the "home" in Home and Garden. By concentrating only on decorating and gardens, important sewing skill are going to be lost.
#8227

Diane Gaudynski said 12/30/05, 3:30 pm (verified)
Simply Quilts has become a "must" for everyone in the quilting arena - beginners, experienced, teachers, and everyone in this business of quilting. It is a fabulous clearing house for ideas and inspiration, and I hope you reconsider and keep it on the air.

#8222

Maribeth Farnham said 12/30/05, 3:27 pm (verified)
I support this petition. This is only 1 of 2 shows that shows updated, current trends and quilters. If HGTV can repeat the same shows 2 ttimes a day, surely they can continue Simply Quilts.
#8221

Lisa Byers said 12/30/05, 3:26 pm (verified)
I support this petition. Simply Quilts is simply the best source of information for quilters and Alex does a great job in presenting it. Please don't cancel it. Retailers such as myself depend upon the stimulation she provides for quilters and crafters to keep the industry stimulated. There is not another show like it, and not everyone can get the DYI network.
#8220

Ellen Weber said 12/30/05, 3:26 pm (verified)
