I have a hex sign on my front door - two lovebirds, actually. It’s a tribute to my late mother who loved visiting the Amish and always bought their signs and put them up on her own front door. Wonderful people.

You do? That's WONDERFUL;especially because it is in tribute to your mother! :-)

Yes, the Amish are very creative, though "plain folk" and I too love those hex signs!

Did she, or you, ever get to visit Goode’s Dairy Farm? They have a nice restaurant, delicious homemade ice cream, and a really interesting arts/crafts shop of Amish crafts.

Many moons ago, when I was a young college student, we’d make regular runs out to the farm for our ice cream sundaes. They had a llama on their farm, and we’d frequently see it resting under one of their big trees. Oh the memories!

Aren’t hex signs Pennsylvania Dutch — too flashy for Amish?

I love the double distelfink hex and plan to make an applique quilt of that pattern.
