Newsletters: A journey through time
These archived newsletters are a cherished part of our history and serve as a beautiful memorial to the passion that started it all. Written by our founder, Rosa Marie Robichaud (Feb 12, 1959 – Jul 18, 2026), these updates offer a unique glimpse into the early days of 3 As Quilting. They provide a nostalgic look at the foundation upon which we continue to build. As her son, James, steps forward to lead the business, we invite you to look back, explore her journey, and celebrate the enduring spirit of our founder.
