Anything But Boring!

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

 

 Janice Pope, owner of Anything But Boring dropped by the other day and was kind  enough to personally model two of her best-selling designs, the Schlepping Bag and The Two Hour Tulip purse bouquet. Like all of Janice’s patterns which are made to solve everyday problems, these two are easy to construct and so useful! The Schlepping Bag is large enough for you to take all of your class supplies with you in one bag. Throw everything in and you are ready to go! The tulip purse is ergonomically designed so that it won’t tip over. Since carrying this bag, I haven’t lost a cell phone, wallet or anything else out of my purse, even when it falls on the floor of the car! If you have made either of these, let us know how you liked them!

Meet the staff-Janice Pope

Friday, February 20th, 2009

Although I made my first quilt in 1977, it did not become my full-time passion until 6 years ago. I prefer to design my own patterns for bags and quilts. (Translation: I am better at writing insructions than trying to follow them!) I have stumbled on to several tricks and tips that are available in my patterns which are sold at Wish Upon A Quilt. For example, I have always prefered to use bias binding rather than crossgrain binding on my quilts. My directions for making Jiffy Bias Binding are included in the Schlepping Bag pattern.  I also love to experiment with color and value placement in quilts. I have an extensive collection of batiks as well as African fabrics, which are a passion of mine. 

 

I work after hours at Wish, making sure our inventory on line matches what we have in the store. Currently I am serving as the President of Capital Quilter’s Guild. My term will be over in June this year, and I hope to have more time for developing patterns and marketing. I also have my own company, Anything But Boring and my website is www.janicedpope.com.  The Wish staff is so much fun to work with and they have been great to have as friends!
