Sisu Farm - Tina's Fabric Nook

This quilt block shows a duck from the side facing left. The duck has a green head, a white collar, and a brown body. The duck bill is a small orange piece of fabric, the head a dark green piece of fabric, the body a small white piece, and the body is made up of three brown pieces (two for the wings). The feet are the same fabric as the bill. The wings are in mid-flap and are coming out of each side of the duck. Every piece of fabric is outlined by a black and white salt-and-pepper-like stitch. This is against a light blue salmon-patterned background.

Block-A-Day 325 – The Silver Appleyard Duck

I’m going to call this duck a Silver Appleyard duck. They are a nice dual breed duck, producing tender meat and plentiful eggs. Here are 8 reasons to keep ducks:

This quilt block is a corner block. There is a patch of grass in the bottom right corner, stretching from the bottom left corner to the top right corner. It has a green bold stitching across its top. There are two chickens on the grass, one a brown patch of fabric, and one a black patch of fabric. The black patch is larger than the brown patch, and is the rooster. There are pen markings on each patch to indicate feathers and a wing. The brown patch is a hen that is looking back at the rooster.

Block-A-Day 320 – The Rooster

I think roosters can be beautiful creatures. They can also be mean, aggressive, and hard on the hens. We don’t have roosters at Sisu Farm. That means, of course, that we don’t have fertilized eggs.
