I'm amused that you call your blanks 'signs' and your finished pieces are 'barn quilts'. This makes two videos of yours that I have watched and I like what you are doing, since I'm doing the same. I was in the sign business for 30 years, and have been an artist all my life. My wife is a quilter, so I became fascinated with quilting and decided to incorporate that into my sign making experience. Like you, I find palette wood the perfect media for not only barn quilts, but all kinds of projects, and the scraps are used for kindling for our wood burning stove that we have had for 45 years. Keep doing what you are doing!
❤Love this design! And the pallet wood base so great👍 what kind of paint do you use to paint your barn quilts? Do you hang them out in the weather or more inside?
I have only really made indoor barn quilts; although I am planning on making my first outside ones for my new barn. For the inside signs, I use craft acrylic paint. For the outside ones, I'll definitely use something made for outside and I'll put a really good outdoor clear coat on it.
Find out what brand of paint to use outside and what clear coat. I used oils and deft clear coat on saw blades and they faded and peeled with sun so I need help for I love to paint on metals and wood.
Enjoyed your process so much! Beautiful result!
