Dear Karen Ackva,
researching family history I came across an ancestor by the name of ACKVA (Juliane Maria Ackva, 1775 – 1841, Bad Kreuznach, Pfalz). Her father was a miller in Bad Kreuznach. It is a rather unusual name, so I tried to find more information, and in the search process saw your beautiful quilting publiations. In case you do have information about the migration history of your ancestors from Europe, I would be glad to get in touch with you. The Pfalz (Palatinate) is a region with much emigration, as you probably know.
Best greetings in these uncertain times, Angela Weber (Marburg, Germany)
Thanks, Christine. The title is supposed to read, “Seven Sister read the Newsprint.” (LOL) It was even more vibrant in person. : )

How to export an image of your virtual quilt from EQ
With your quilt displayed on the Quilt Worktable:
Click FILE > Export Image. The Export Image dialog displays.
In this dialog you’ll select the folder location for saving the file, give the file a name. You should name your photo file using this sequence: First letter of your first name, your full last name, underscore, EQQuilt. For example Jane Doe would name her quilt, “JDoe_EQQuilt”.
Click the down-pointing arrow for file type selections. Files can be saved jpeg.
The next dialog lets you specify the size of the image and other options depending on the file type that has been selected. You should choose 150 dpi and a width of 8”.
When taking a photo of your finished quilt, you should follow these guidelines or we may not be able to display your quilt in the gallery.
The quilt must be hanging vertically straight.
Take the photo straight on (the quilt should not be on an angle).
The image file should be larger than 600 pixels. If you send us the original photo without any editing, that file should suffice.
Do not crop out the background.
Do not cut off the borders or binding in the picture.
You should name your photo file using this sequence: First letter of your first name, your full last name, underscore, FinishedQuilt. For example Jane Doe would name her quilt, “JDoe_FinishedQuilt”.
