Barn quilts and hex signs

Barn quilts and hex signs are my new latest obsession. Barn quilts for obvious reasons (see posts regarding passion for textiles and fabric) but hex signs because they remind me of my childhood. They were all over the countryside where I grew up just outside of Amish country! My mom said we had one on a small shed behind our house!

Enjoy!

  1. I enjoy seeing both. What ever the reason, there is no denying it is art.
