To enter, it’s time for Math class and some number crunching! All you need to do is guesstimate how many steps Kimberly took on average at Quilt Market per day. We kept count on a handy dandy Fitbit, and it’s going to be a little shocking!
Enter our giveaway through Rafflecopter! This contest will close on Monday, October 27th at 11:59 pm CST and the winner will be announced on Wednesday, October 29th.
