When HGTV quit showing Simply Quilts and refused to do any more quilt shows and there were "tons" of us that petitioned them to air more quilting shows, this is one of the things that I posted them about: how much money was being spent on quilting. But to no avail. That's why I quit watching HGTV and according to ms. board have a lot of other folks. Seemed they thought "us quilters" were not the correct generation for that type of show. Boy, were they mistaken.
