Cincinnati Quilt Show – I’m Back! And a Giveaway!!
Phew, I’m exhausted! I traveled to Cincinnati over the weekend for the International Quilt Festival. The location change from Chicago worked out great for me because my family lives in Cincinnati (which equals a free place to stay and lots of cousin time for my kids)! Cincinnati has a fun riverfront and my kids enjoyed spending time at Sawyer Point.
We started the weekend by visiting the Fabric Shack. Pretty much, you can’t go to Cincinnati without visiting that store. My sister (hi Rachel!) is just getting started quilting and I gifted her Elizabeth Hartman’s book, The Practical Guide to Patchwork. She is going to make a pattern in the book and purchased some great Laura Gunn fabric to get started.
While we were at the Fabric Shack, they were having a tent sale. Jackpot, right? My sister picked up some fabric on clearance and said “these are pretty colors…” and I about fell over. She was holding Tula Pink Neptune honey bun which is pretty hard to come by now! And there were two of them! She was very nice and let me have both (after I practically grabbed them out of her hand. LOL).
Saturday my mom, dad, sister and I went to the quilt show. Yep, my dad is a trooper and even went Thursday on preview night with my mom! There were lots of beautiful quilts on display, although no antique quilts like last year. That was a bit of a disappointment. But these were a few of the new quilts that caught my eye.
Marcia Derse was personally at the show again, selling her beautiful fabrics! You may remember my post about seeing her last year and loving her designs and colors. She was super sweet this year and gave me a sampler of her fabrics to give away to a lucky reader! More on that below. 
She also had an awesome display of her fabrics in her booth, seen as the first photo on this post. Here are some photos of her booth – I’m on the left, Marcia is on the right. Try not to stare directly at my arms, they haven’t seen the sun in 7 months.
++ Update: For those in the Cincinnati area, my mom just visited a quilt shop in Loveland called The Quilter’s Studio and they have a ton of Marcia’s fabric! ++
There were lots and lots of fabric booths. I was scouring for out of print fabrics or fabrics I had only seen online and wanted to see in person. Including these amazing Kaffe Fassett stripes.
Here are my sister and I at the only booth I saw with a few Japanese imports – including some Heather Ross Far, Far Away I and II. And Echino. That was unexpected and exciting.
For those that like my bag, I purchased it on Etsy from Aunty Cookie – GREAT shop!
Overall – it was a successful weekend. Here is my loot! It includes a couple out of print Heather Ross prints (the dots and unicorn), the Neptune honey bun, a new piecing foot with a guide for my Bernina, some Park Slope fat quarters for $1, a couple bundles of Kaffe stripes, and more starbursts – because really, you just can’t have enough starbursts.
Now for the giveaway – if you made it this far! One lucky reader is going to win everything you see below: a Neptune honey bun, a fat quarter of dots from Heather Ross’s Lightning Bugs and Other Mysteries collection, and the beautiful sampler of fabrics donated by designer Marcia Derse.
All you have to do is leave a comment! I will pick a winner Wednesday evening. Good luck everyone!
Comments are now closed. Picking a winner!
Wow – 285 entries. I think that is a new record over here! The winner, chosen by Random.org, is #21 – Julie.
Julie said “What great loot! I wish I could have been there! I love your bag too I love all things Tula Pink and joined the quilting game way too late to get my hands on Neptune, thanks for the opportunity to win these goodies! ”
Congratulations Julie!

Looks like it was a wonderful quilt show – it is always nice to see some amazing quilts in real life and the lovely new fabrics that are available!
Wow, I am jealous.
I really like the pickle dish quilt – I will have to try one of those one day.
It is great to see one of Aunty Cookie’s bags on the other side of the world (I’m a fellow Melbournian).
I *LOVE* Aunty Cookie! The bag got lots of laughs at the show.
I do love quilt shows. The quilt pics are amazing. Great giveaway you are having
Would love to have the Marcia Derse fabrics! Why not give the others to two other people…
Soooo jealous of your fabric purchases. I never win anything but it can’t hurt to try!
wow, looks so fun. Thanks for the giveaway!
Amazing shots from the show and I’d love a little part of it!
Wow, what a great giveaway! Thanks for sharing some of the quilts you saw and goods you got there. Sounds like a super fun trip!
Wow what a generous give away! Sounds like you had fun there. I love seeing all the colors, fabric and quilts…so inspiring!
Woot woot I got a shout out!
Thank you for visiting, for the awesome book, and for cutting me mostly out of the Japanese fabric pic. LOL 
MUCH appreciated!!
How fun! I would love to check out a quilt show one day. And what a great giveaway!!
I love these easy to win giveaways. *S* No thot required.
So I will just say that it looks like you had a lot of fun, and having family there just tops it off, huh?
Wow, looks like you had a great time at the show. Thanks for sharing the photos.
I love Neptune!! I’m jealous about going to the show. I’ve never been to a show before.
Wow, it looks like you had a great time! Also, please pick me! I love the fabrics you’re giving away! I’m also drooling over those aqua Kaffe stripes! I need to get me some of those!
Hi! I found your blog a while back (November 2010?), when I was looking for a quilt pattern to make for one of my (three) nieces. I’ve been following ever since! I’m not only loving your fabric choices, but also the statement on your shopping tote, “Who are you calling a fat quarter?”
Lovely fabrics! So colourful, just in time for Spring!
My mom and aunt went too. I’d love to go sometime!
What great loot! I wish I could have been there! I love your bag too
I love all things Tula Pink and joined the quilting game way too late to get my hands on Neptune, thanks for the opportunity to win these goodies!
You found some great stuff! Park Slope is one of my favorite lines
I would love to win all the yummy fabric.
I’m jealous of all your loot!! I live in Houston and attend the International Quilt Festival here. I went to college in Ohio, but didn’t quilt at the time. I did go to several quilt shops with my mother-in-law, but can’t remember if we went to the Fabric Shack. What a score finding a tent sale. Whoo-hoo! Thanks a million to Marcia Derse for her generosity. Hooray for fabric!
Thanks for the giveaway!!
Sounds like you had a great time! Nice of you to share it! Thanks for the giveaway chance…
I really need to make a better effort to get to this show next year – looks fantastic! Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
I also went to the show. Amazing! I also made it to Fabric Shack’s tent sale. Score!
you were so luckily to have a visit I am very envious and those fabrics are beautiful
Love the Japanese prints and the fabric with the Unicorn. I’m a member of a group that uses treadles and hand cranks and heard reports from a number of people who attended and everyone said it was awesome! Yours is the first report with pictures however. I hope to get to a major quilt show someday just so I can look in detail at the quilts to see how they are made. The samples you posted are amazing and I love the colors.
Thanks for doing the drawing…very exciting.
What a wonderful giveaway! I love Tula Pink’s Neptune. And thanks for introducing me to Marcia Derse. Her fabrics are amazing and I have never come across them before.
I can’t believe you found not one but two neptune honey buns. And even more that you are willing to share one. How wonderful! Now I can just hope that you pick me.
Oooh, what a generous giveaway — many thanks and hope you have a wonderful week, Faith!
What a fabulous trip and awesome loot! Thanks for sharing!
i went to the show on Friday on a bus group with my local guild. i was really hoping for more quilts then vendors, but i dont think there were, huh? your pics were some of my favorites too!
wish our bus could have made a pit stop at fabric shack!!
Oh wow, so generous to part with one of your Neptune honeybuns! Sounds like it was a great trip, I’m dying to get to a quilt show!

So glad your family had fun in Cincinnati despite the Saturday downpour! The Quilt Show was amazing – my very first! I loved the quilt exhibitions and spent most of my time ogling instead of shopping so I would love to win a few treasures. Hope you’ll be back in 2012!
Wasn’t that rain something? Luckily my dad knew all sorts of inside shortcuts to get us to the car in Fountain Square without spending much time outside!
What an awesome giveaway! And good to know about the Fabric Shack! Thanks for the chance to win

I also had a great time at the Cincinnati Quilt Show!!! Was excited that it moved to Cincinnati and that it is coming back again next year. I met Marcia Derse for the first time and fell in love with her “artwork”. Many wonderful vendors and great fabric!!! Can’t wait until next year!!

Wow! What a great giveaway! Pick me!
These are so lovely! Thank you for thinking of your readers and for bringing something back for us!
Ooooh I love those Marcia Derse fabrics–they’re so modern. Neptune is not one I’ve seen before. I love that, too. Hope I win!
Looks like you had a blast! And all the yumminess you were surrounded by mmmmm……..
I am so jealous! I would have loved to go the quilt show. I really miss the show in Chicago since I live in central Illinois. I attended every show in Chicago since inception. It was fab!
Thank you so much for sharing! Looks like you had a wonderful time…..
before i lived in LA (which is where I am now), I lived in Dayton. Unfortunately, I wasn’t into sewing there, much less quilting, which makes me sad, because this looks like a great show! Hope I win!!
Looks like so much fun!
So very nice of you, and wonderful post!
I had a wonderful time talking with you, your sister and mom at Fabric Shack! I admit, I am a bit jealous….you were having so much fun together and your mom is so proud of both of you!=) I am anxious to see a picture of your sister’s quilt. It isn’t everyday you run across(or chase around a store because you want the fabric they are carrying!) a kindred spirited quilter, let alone two of them.
Hi Michelle – it was great meeting you too! I’m glad you made it to my blog!
I never bought the entire collection of Tula Pink since it came out when I first started quilting and before I knew fabrics didn’t last forever.
What a brilliant giveaway! Thanks.
Looks like you had fun. oh please, pretty please pick me!! look at all those goodies.
So many great things in this give away. Who ever wins this will have hit the jackpot. Here’s hoping it’s me!
What a great weekend for you and giveaway for those of us still stuck in winter! Thanks–I could use a happy surprise!
How generous! I made a great quilt with the first line of Marcia Derse prints from the Weeks and Ringle Modern Quilt book. It came out great!
I just love reading your blog & seeing the quilts you make. It helped inspire me so much when I began quilting. Thanks for the giveaway but more importantly, thanks for sharing with us!
Looks like you had an amazing time, Faith! How fun to find all of those yummy fabrics! One of these days I will have to venture to a big quilt show.
I envy you – too far away for a California girl so I will have to wait for Long Beach. Can’t wait. Love the choices for the giveaway.
Ahhh! That purple-y quilt that looks like a tunnel is amazing!
That sounds like a wonderful weekend. I’ve been hoping that one day I’d stumble upon the last stash of Neptune, in the back of some small town quilt shop. No luck, yet, though.
Thanks for hosting this generous giveaway.
Thanks for sharing the great photos. You just wanted to make me drool, didn’t you?
Wow. It sounds as though you’ve had a wonderful weekend filled with beautiful inspiring fabrics and I love those quilts you saw. They must’ve been inspiring.
Thanks for a chance at such a generous giveaway!

A friend and I went to the show in Cincinnati also. We only had one day so it was a lot to see in a short time! I’m thrilled that IQF came to Cincinnati because I can do that trip in a day. Chicago, not so much. Your giveaway goodies look beautiful. Thanks for the chance to win!
I live in the Dayton area and was crushed when I realized the quilt show was the same weekend I was already signed up for some training elsewhere. So now I am living it through blogs. Maybe next year! (And I love the Fabric Shack)

Fabulous pictures. I wish I would have come to see the show.

Wow, looks like you had great fun! What a great giveaway too! Glad you enjoyed yourself.
What a brilliant fabric fest – love all the goodies in the giveaway, thanks for the chance.
All great fabrics, you got a great haul. I’m always happy when I see people posting their Quilt Show or Quilt Market photos because so many of us don’t get to go and experience the excitement and the insider look/info. Thanks for hosting a very fabulous giveaway!
Wow! What a fantastic giveaway. Wouldn’t it be fun for a Marcia to win Marcia D’s fabrics! Glad that you and yours had both a good time and a safe trip. alternate email mlwright29(at) hotmail(dot)com

Go you. I think I’d jump out of my skin if my sister were to take up quilting!
PS. Speaking of skin…non-brown arms means you won’t get skin cancer. Healthy yea, leather ladies boo… But I do know how it goes in the Midwest, tan is so ‘it’. Always bugged me growing up there

Wow, sounds like an awesome show! I love the wall of Marcia’s fabric samples, such a beautiful way of displaying them. It kind of reminds me of the quilt that one of the couples tacked up on their hotel room wall in Best of Show. Lol!

I always enjoy reading reports on quilt shows. Someday I hope to go to one myself. The fabric stores sound good too; maybe I should go visit my Cincinnati relatives!
oooh – pretty fabric!
What a fun trip all the way around for everyone! And I’m, of course, hoping I’ll win that fun fabric, but well, I never do, so I probably won’t. And that’s okay. But I can still try, eh?
How generous! Thanks for the giveaway.
I’ve been eyeballing the Neptune collection lately … thanks for the chance to win!
Awesome giveaway! I have been wishing for some Neptune, hardcore!
