I was gone all weekend, helping to shoot two fireworks shows in 2 states. Both went very well,except the one Sat. night, started 10 separate fires. A shell with blue long burning stars was the culprit. The firetrucks were there as well as some of our crew with water packs. They stopped the show so the fires could get put out(we were in a prairie area with tall grass). I got lots of deer fly bites and got hot and sweaty, but that all goes away. My ears are almost back to normal. Yesterday was the more relaxing show, at a site we've shot at about 10 yrs. In a city park on flat ground w/ bathroom facilities available. This was a hand shot show, which doesn't happen much anymore. Only one flowerpot, which broke a rack apart, but no one hurt at all. Today I work on starting & finishing the fmq on the background of my fireworks quilt.

Not a job, volunteer, thru our local MN fireworks club. Our Club shoots shows for whoever hires us to do a show for them, towns, private people, corporations,etc. We do 2 shows on July 3, 3 on the 4th and just about every other weekend during the summer, thru Sept.
Shows range from several thousand $ and up. The payment helps to pay for our Club's insurance so we can exist and have several Club events each year plus provide a safe service for people who want to see fireworks.

What type of "vintage camper" do you have? What fabric are you using? I saw one done in the Betty Boop theme and it was so cute. We have a 5th wheel and just made a lap quilt out of the new Happy Camper fabric that is out.Be sure and post a pic!!
