I support this petition. This is one of the few programs on HGTV where I actually learn something b/c most shows on HGTV just show you someone remodelling their own home. I have learned of great quilters and multiple ideas from Simply Quilts.

Barb Losee said 12/30/05, 11:12 pm (verified)
I support this petition. This is a valuable show to all of the millions of quilters viewing it daily! The target market which watches Simply Quilts supports the advertisers, which is HGTV's monetary base, something which will be lost if this show is cancelled. We need MORE quilting shows and new editions of Simply Quilts, not some of the other garbage which has been appearing on HGTV!

I support this petition. As a quilter, teacher and designer, I can say that Simply Quilts is the single largest influence in the quilting industry. Everyone watches it at least occasionally, and the numbers are growing as the numbers of quilters grow.

I support this petition. I have watched simply quilts for a long time and I believe taking the show off the air would be the biggest mistake HGTV could make. If it hadn't been for the show I would have never jumped in and learned how to Quilt. Everyone I know in the quilting family watches this show. Talk about a ratings drop.

As an older quilter I appreciate Simply Quilts as it's not easy for me to get to the local quilt store for classes and this show answers a lot of my questions as I quilt. Also, I can't think of a better way to start the day than spending a half hour with such an upbeat person as Alex. Please keep her quilting with us. Thank you

I support this petition whole-heartedly. Simply Quilts is an inspiration to quilters everywhere. Surely there is room for it among the multitude of decorating and crafts shows on HGTV. Quilting is a truly American art form and this is one of the most worthwhile showcases for that art. Please continue the creation of this wonderful program. And while you are at it, schedule it for the weekends as well!
#8342

Dorothy Kroger said 12/30/05, 8:44 pm (verified)
I support this petition. I became interested in quilting after watching an episode of Simply Quilts. I love to start my day with Simply Quilts. Alex Anderson is great! Her quilt show is so much better than any of the other quilt showes on tv. Its production is so much better, its filming is better, Alex has better guests, a better set. I was very disapointed when HGTV canceled the afternoon episode, so to cancel the show alltogether is terrible. HGTV has only one other show that I like, if Simply Quilt is canceled I will stop watchig HGTV and FOODNETWORK (which only has one show that I watch).

I support this petition. I am in a state of shock that this show isn't being continued! The other quilt shows can't even compare to this one! HGTV is getting fewer and fewer programs of interest - more time for quilting, etc. I just started quilting 2 years ago and our church has an active program - great fund raiser!!

I support this petition. I am new to quilting and I have learned much from Simply Quilts. I cannot afford expensive classes so I have been very greatful for Simply Quilts and HGTV. I have noticed a change in the overall general content of HGTV especially this fall and if fine teaching programs like Simply Quilts must go, I probably will too. Regrettably,there's not that much to keep me watching.

Diana Mains-Welte said 12/30/05, 7:50 pm (verified)
I support this petition. Simply Quits is a show that fosters our heritage and forms a generational continuity of the needlearts. So many young people would benifit by learning a craft - quilting gives them the satisfaction of creating something that will last a lifetime. Please continue to provide your viewers with this show. Alex Anderson is a gem and the professionals she brings to the show are amazing. We would be lessened without it.
#8326

Mary Payne said 12/30/05, 7:49 pm (verified)
I support this petition. It is because of Simply Quilts and Alex Anderson that I began quilting. It has opened many creative doors for me and brought many new friends into my life. Why would you keep uninteresting, repetitive shows and stop showing new episodes of one of the best shows in your lineup? Sounds crazy to me and is a reason to stop watching, and stop paying extra for, HGTV all together.

I support this petition. There are not enough quality shows on cable that respond to all age and gender groups. This show is an invaluable tool for everyone and has brought many crafters back to quilting. The information shared and the quality instruction given is indeed an important aspect of any teaching venue.There is no other program of this quality available to us on any other station...Do not take SIMPLY QUILTS away from us.
