Sorry everyone, just ignore me.
(BTW- hopefully I get my machine tomorrow)
Wow!! is all I can say. $ kids under 7 and #5 on the way in 2 months. You are by far a better woman then I am. I did 2 kids in 4 years and then had hubby fixed. It was enough!

Thanks everybody. I sew at night. When my husband has off, he also gives me a break and lets me sew.
Just so there is no confusion- I won't be winning the cleanest house award anytime soon!

Re: Ethical question- or not.
I think your original question just proves how hectic we can all be from time to time! And if you add to that all the responsibilities of home and family you have to feel like you're in a salad spinner!!!
But it also points out how you can come here and ask a question and end up with a whole bunch of hugs from the members here!
That speaks to the heart of the forum, in addition to the expertise it provides!
And besides, you can claim pregnancy brain and we would all understand!!! Hugs to you!!! ((((((((((((((

Re: Ethical question- or not.
I bought a folder with samples of all the Bella solids. The Bella snow is definitely the darkest and creamiest of the whites except for Figtree cream. The starkest white is White bleached 9900 98 or Bleached white 9900 97. I prefer Bella to Kona solids.

To me, it sounds like you got what you ordered. Someplace on here Jean has pictures of them side by side.
Yes it is, and I specifically used it this last two quilts for that reason. I wanted almost a yellow and Bella Snow gives me that. It's a true cream color.
You know, like cream you churned yourself.

Re: Ethical question- or not.
Hm, this must tie in with the "don't eat yellow snow" saying. lol
Holy moly - that's quite the household you got there. Good luck with #5.

That's a really good idea. Also, I never paid much attention to Kona or Bella. I would just search under "snow". I think I will get one of those sample cards so I know exactly what I am getting and not guess.
4 kids is busy, but a good busy. It's work with meaning. I am actually a survivor of ovarian cancer, and they said I could never have any children at all. So I feel very blessed to have the children I do, and wouldn't change it for the world. (Though I wouldn't mind a housekeeper from time to time)
