Jamie Mueller, from St. Louis, Missouri, is our first Enthusiast to post a project for the Mirror Ball Blog Hop. Hint: I know she has several projects to post ;)
To be fair to Jamie, she's not just an enthusiast - she is a dotty fanatic of Mirror Ball Dot. She has a great history with the fabric and a very personal attachment to it.
For many people like me, designing fabric is a business. And being in business one needs to be sensitive to certain things (to name a few): trends in color, size and motifs, timing of a release of a fabric, inventory, when something has run its course and needs to be discontinued.
Discontinue Mirror Ball Dot? Well... Jamie wouldn't have it.
So she rallied other lovers of the design and started a petition... and an exact quote from the ring leader....
"Okay ya'll,
I spoke with the President of Michael Miller Fabrics and BEGGED him to reprint the Mirror Ball Dots because they are AMAZING! I asked if a petition would help and he said yes! So please if you have photos of this fabric upload it and SIGN the petition! I started this POST (discussion). Just leave a comment saying you will sign and I will create a list and email him!! We can do it, he seemed VERY willing to reprint if I got a lot of people involved! :) Thank you so much!! We can do it!!"

And perhaps I should just leave it at: And the rest is history...
