In Cincinnati my 2 favorite shops are Silk Road and Quilters Studio in Loveland, OH (which is basically a suburb of Cincinnati) Silk Road has lots of unique fabric I don't see in other shops. 6106 Hamilton Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45224. They are closed on Mondays. Quilters Studio has tons and tons of batiks plus lots of Kona and other awesome fabrics.535 W Loveland Ave, Loveland, OH 45140
There are quite a few shops in Cincinnati. I also really like Little Shop of Stitches in Miamisburg,OH 79 S Main St, Miamisburg, OH 45342. If you are heading up I-75 Th fabric Shack in Waynesville isn't too far out of your way also. Have fun.
