Simply Quilts went off the air because the ^%$&%$# at HGTV decided we all wanted to see more shopping for homes, selling homes, improving the back yard, etc. Kinda like WM getting rid of fabric so they can sell more makeup.
If the daughter lures more youngsters into quilting, that's great! Wouldn't their decisions be different if the CEOs of WM and HGTV had loved a quilt as a child?
