Hi Barbara, from what I can see, you’re signed up on the mailing list correctly. You’ll see the email but if you click on items in the email, they will open in your browser. The email system doesn’t allow us to send or you to receive all the content via email. It must open in the browser. Hope that helps and happy sewing!
