    Field Trip Friday: Jonathan Adler store and quilt inspiration

    Published: Jul 16, 2010 by Amy · This post may contain affiliate links · 6 Comments

    This week we are going to visit the Jonathan Adler store in Soho.  It is also just around the corner from Purl Soho at 47 Green Street.   I love going in this place just for all the color inspiration going on. Are not those turquoise chairs fantastic?
    Not living in NY, LA, Boston or Chicago, I don't often visit a Jonathan Adler store. The first time I went there was two years ago when I was visiting my sister.  I remember seeing a Union Jack throw pillow - which may or may not have blown my mind - and definitely helped kick-off my Union Jack frenzy.
    No Union Jack pillows this time - I guess that was so two-years-ago - but there were some great replacements.  Love the color and the design.
    Perhaps this year the in location is Fresno.
    Or Acapulco.
    (Pardon the not so perfect pictures. I think the staff was nervous when I started taking pictures - which in turn made me nervous. I tried to reassure them that I was just some lady from Utah that makes quilts in her basement, wearing clothes from Target, while kids throw things at her - not some competitive threat.)
    I did, however, find lots of great quilt inspiration. Wouldn't this design make a groovy quilt?
    Or this rug too.  
    In the background is a upholstered magenta child-size chair.  It slightly out of my price range, but if you are looking for one, I would definitely check Jonathan Adler. It was pretty cute.
