Can someone tell me how this happens? Someone sells my email to the folks who advertise for Bernina/quilting board? Is Quilting board partnered with Bernina?

Thanks.

I got the email in my gmail account. The unsubscribe link for me was on that quiltingboard.com line. It appears that someone has named themselves quiltingboard.com to make us think it is coming from the board. I've attached what that address line looks like for me.

I have gotten the e-mail a couple of times to and wondered how it happened.

that is the email addressed used by the marketing folks at the company who owns the QB.
no need for alarm.
not a hijacking fake. :)

Another question - I have poked around in my profile and can't see where to unsubscribe from the daily digest. Can I have some instructions please?

you have to follow the unsubscribe link in the digest email.
