This is
Bella Solids Bleached White #9900-98
which is one of my preferred background whites.
Usually I have plenty of this in my stash,
but I was down to my last yard and it is in four projects
that I am working on at the moment.
So it was time to buy more.
It came packaged in plastic, pristine and uncut.
I know this sounds at first like an extravagance, but hear me out.
I bought this at
my favorite online shop,
where Bella Solids are regularly $6.99 per yard,
However, when you buy 15 yards of any regular priced fabric,
you can get a 20% "By the Bolt" discount.
So my fabric was $5.39 per yard and I saved over $20,
So yes, it was a large purchase upfront but I will use it up.
There is not a discount code for this.
When you order, the customer service person who prepares the order will automatically deduct the 20% and adjust your order total.
I do always put in a note on my order, asking for the bolt discount.
You can also call their Tool Free number 1-866-826-2069
to order, if you feel better talking with a human about this.

I like Porcelain for a creamy off white.
I also tossed an Alison Glass Cross Stitch Charm Pack
into my cart that was in the daily flash sale.
My mail was happy today!
May all your mail be squishy and happy.

I also buy white fabric by the bolt. People always seem so astonished I'd buy that much at a time but it normally lasts maybe 2 years then I need to buy another bolt. Happy stitching!
I’ve been considering buying a bolt of solid to work on some feedsack quilts. I didn’t think about the discount!
I so seldom use a white solid I'd need to split a bolt with someone, but there are a few colors I'd love to have if the same price applies to other than white. Thanks for sharing the link that showed the variety of shades of white with a companion color, that was extremely helpful!
I buy both Kona black and Kona white by the bolt. It is a little cheaper that way, and I always have it on hand if the mood strikes me to start a new project.I haven’t tried the porcelain—I will have to look for it on my Kona color chart.
I tend to buy lots of white and whites in at least 10 yard increments, and some of my favorites like the Bella and a grunge I buy in bolts.
I always buy my staples (I'm a Kona gal) by the bolt and most places will discount.
Great to know. Thanks for sharing the tip!
