I received the same email ad last night. I jut deleted it. I don't know if it's from the board, but I wasn't interested in it, so just deleted. I didn't sign up for any newsletters either. I know when I have done the shop hop most of their clue sites want you to sign up for their newsletter I never do.

I got that ad as well, but right away I knew it was not from QB but CreativeBug.

Yes. I didn't click on anything. I was just curious how a website got my email address from quilting board. I can't find where the subscribe to free quilting newsletter. This was an email. Not a pop up ad. I have an ad blocker.

that freaked me out the first time i got one, too.
i had a fit, but did ask the marketing folks about it before jumping to any toooooo radical conclusions. LOL
Creative Bug has paid for an advertising partnership with the QB.
only those members who signed up for the newsletter and left the checkmark in the "receive emails from our partners" should get those emails.
they don't send emails often.
you can unsubscribe from the creative bug emails by following the link/instructions in one of those emails.
it will not have any effect on the QB reminder emails.
