Cincinnati quilt stores
Not sure what part of Cincinnati you are going to, or how far away you want to travel, but there are some nice ones around. Aunt Ruth's Quilt Store (Sharonville) on Reading Road is one, and Sew Eazy also on Reading Road is another. In Hamilton (about 20 min away) is Bella Quilts on Main Street - they have some beautiful fabrics, and lots of cool gadgets. In Waynesville (about 35 min away) is The Fabric Shack, again, with lots of gorgeous fabrics. In Burlington, KY (about 20 min south of the state line from Cincy) is Cabin Arts - it's a couple of blocks off the main drag, but easy to get to, and just chock full of fabrics. I have been to all of these stores, and have not been disappointed in any of them.
