In the 1700's Pennsylvania experienced an influx of German and Swiss immigrants! Over time they became known as the Pennsylvania Dutch.  They brought with them designs of birds, flowers and geometric patterns used in the "old country".  The Amish and Mennonites kept their properties plain, but in the 1800's the "fancy" Dutch began painting decorations on their barns.  Whether to protect them from evil spirits or just to "look nice" people began to call them Hex Signs and they grew in popularity.
Ivan E. Hoyt lives in Wapwallopen, Pennsylvania, and is a professional folk art craftsman, best known for his hex sign disks. He is a juried member of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen and has been selected as one of the top 200 traditional American craftsmen by Early American Life magazine. His work is in the collections of the Smithsonian  National Museum of American History and the Balch Institute of Ethnic Studies in Philadelphia.
All of my hex signs are made in the USA!
Conestoga Crafts, owned by Americana,
produces hex signs in Gettysburg, PA.
In general Pennsylvania Dutch hex signs are meant to bring luck to the owner.  Specific designs bring specific luck.  This design starts with a central 12 Petal Rosette promising good luck for each month of the year.  Around the rosette is a never-ending ring reminding us of eternal life.  The tulips represent faith and the hearts represent love, both of which surround the owner of this sign.  Finally, the scalloped edge design adds smooth sailing on the sea of life.  This sign includes many traditional designs.
All Conestoga Crafts hex signs are designed for indoor or outdoor use!
They are made of a tempered hardboard material.  I recommend coating each sign with a clear enamel or varnish DESIGNED FOR OUTDOOR USE to keep the sign looking good as long as possible.
If you are looking for a sign to make your house welcoming, or a decoration
which is just a little different and will get attention, this is it.  Our hex signs are now hanging everywhere from Hong Cong to Russia to South Africa to Panama and in every US state.
