I have seen the commercial several times, and it always makes me laugh. I am sure, when I have been in the zone, and refused to go or do anything until I get a quilt done, my family has probably thought I needed an intervention also. :lol: :lol: There are bigger things for me to worry about, so it doesn't really bother me.

Don't watch TV so have not seen it...

I didn't like their commercial either.

LOL, I havent seen it either.I will have to watch for it!

Rural Girl, This has nothing to do with toilet paper. DebraK was thinking of a different commercial. The ad that I'm referring to is VIVA paper towels (not tissue).

Thanks to all of you who let VIVA know your thoughts on their line of advertisement. It puts a very negative spin on something we love and would like to entice the next generation to love also! Quit the quilt. Indeed!!! For shame. That's some logo. VIVA probably hasn't a clue-and won't unless we tell them.

I remember that. I noticed it the very first time I saw it (I usually don't watch commercials). I couldn't believe it took as long as it did to fix it.

Shame on me for not taking this so seriously. It doesn't make any difference whether it is toilet paper or paper towels. My comment was based on people thinking that this commercial will impact on the quilting business. I think we should give people more credit that they can see this as a silly commercial, and not a negative statement on people who quilt. I say, don't sweat the small stuff. There is plenty of big stuff to sweat!

I heard back from them :lol: Here it is :

I got the same response.

I just saw the commercial for the first time and didn't associate it at all with the quilting that we do. I'm going to continue to use my Bounty Select-A-Size because that's what I prefer. They are talking about paper towels--not fabric. I don't see the connection. But then again, I'm one of those people that thinks there are only a certain number of things that should be called quilts: doll quilts, baby quilts, crib quilts, couch throws, twin, full, queen and king. If it hangs on a wall it's not a quilt but rather quilted art. But there again, it's just my opinion and shouldn't matter to anyone else so please don't anyone get offended.
