Sit & Sew at the Firehouse
2025-10-10 09:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | Norrisville Volunteer Fire Company, 2134 Harkins Rd. Rt. 136, Pylesville, MD, 21132
Join Us for Sewing With the Peeps at the Firehouse!
This activity is for guild members who want to get together and spend their day sewing!
Darlene Vocke has reserved the Norrisville Firehouse for one Friday a month during most months in 2025. The schedule varies (see the full list of dates below). The time will be from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00’ish – or whatever schedule allows. Bring snacks, lunch, drink, and have fun sewing with the group. There is a refrigerator and microwave available for use.
Please feel free to bring whatever you need to sew for the day. The tables would be great to lay a quilt out and pin them on.
If you have any questions, please call Darlene Vocke (her contact information may be found in the member directory on the QOL website. If you don’t have access, you can inquire at the email address or phone number found at the bottom of the QOL website.)
Hope to see you there.
Coordinator: Darlene Vocke
[INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY] If either school system is closed or delayed (Harford County Public Schools in MD or South Eastern School District in PA), Sit and Sew will be canceled.
