My local bookshop is a treasure and their weekly email includes what their cat Lucy is reading. This week it was the Cat Operator's Manual by @queenoliviaiii.com
Lucy's review is a delight.

I love when a project finally feels like you are gaining momentum.
I try to do a lot of the preparation before I start assembling so projects tend to feel a little bit meh until this point.
But now... growth all from bits stored in a cookie tin

Yes! That would be amazing. A lot of this is made with scraps from an art quilter in Northland who didn't want them to go to waste.
I can use scraps that are a little less than 2cm square for my 1" diamonds. I'm happy to pay for postage too

Something I really love about quilting is making chaos into order. Scrap quilting is my favourite and this one will be pretty fantastic when I finish (eventually) it uses my bits of scrap fabric and that another quilter sent me to avoid wasted bits.

In general news I went out to exercise this morning after walking the puppy.
Shockingly while I was gone someone had zoomies and did some parkour.
Gertie said she wasn’t involved. Evidence and mugshot attached

Does anyone know if there is a way to pledge allegiance to the country without including the British crown?

Well this project will definitely give me joy. I do love seeing patchwork come together but since it is all hand stitched it takes a decent amount of time.
Pictured is about 70 of the same three piece collection that will go into 64 rings eventually

The quilts I make often have both micro and macro decisions included in them. For this scrappy quilt I’m leaning mostly on micro chaos which should give macro beauty but this little set of 3 bits of 2000+ bits total gives me great joy for some reason.

Maybe the ethics part of Standing Orders?
![Conduct of members
The fundamental obligation of a member of Parliament has been said to be “the duty to serve” and, in serving, to act with fidelity and a single-minded regard for the welfare of the community.[32] In the Westminster tradition, the moral and ethical behaviour of members has been governed by informal conventions based on the concept of honour. The underlying assumption has been that members behave honourably in the public interest, and that any who are perceived not to have conformed to expected standards of behaviour may be subject to public opprobrium and, ultimately, electoral retribution. More recently, developments in ethical standards in the United Kingdom, and particularly at Parliament, have been codified in a set of principles of public life. The principles are articulated under headings of selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership.[33]
As the holders of a high public office, members have inescapable duties of conduct. Indeed, the absolute probity of members is essential to the proper operation of our democracy.[34] It is fundamental that members must not accept private rewards for the performance of their official functions.[35] At the commencement of every sitting day the Speaker reads a prayer affirming that members lay aside all private and personal interests when participating in parliamentary proceedings. (See pp 192–193.)
Insofar as these duties apply to the transaction of parliamentary business (in the House or at select committees) they are matters for the House itself, rather than a court, to supervise.[36] But in their dealings outside the House with constituents, Government officials, or lobbyists, members may still act in the capacity of members of Parliament.[37] If in these interactions their actions should bring their personal interests into conflict with their public duties, the law may provide a counter to such an impropriety.[38]
