Whether your kids are in our fine elementary schools, one of our two great junior highs, or finishing up at LHHS, going to school in Lake Highlands is a fantastic experience.

But, sooner - rather than later - it comes to an end.

Nothing generates a drawer full of t-shirts like all those soccer teams, elementary school carnivals or track and field days.

There are the choir and band competitions, LHHS sports summer camps, Highlandette and cheer events and ever-popular church camps.

Don't forget Scouts and Guides campouts, the Wildcat football seasons... and well, you get the idea.

Why not take advantage of this week’s LH Today Deal of the Week and commemorate your child’s school days by commissioning a t-shirt quilt from Quilters Connection right here in Lake Highlands?

Whether you want to immortalize your child’s successes on the sports field, remember all those extracurricular activities, or simply want to decorate that empty nest after the little one goes off to college, you’ll want the warm memories (literally!) that a custom t-shirt quilt can provide.

Quilters Connection, located at Walnut Hill & Plano Road, is owned by Lake Highlands native and LHHS alum David Werther and his wife Shelley. Shelley has been quilting for 40 years and has made numerous t-shirt quilts for individuals and local organizations.

“T-shirt quilts are like a cozy version of your child’s scrapbook, or a Facebook page they can wrap up in,” says Shelley.

Whether it adorns your elementary school student’s bed or your graduating senior takes it off to college, a t-shirt quilt makes a terrific gift.

To celebrate the upcoming graduation of son Matt from LHHS, Quilters Connection is offering a fantastic deal on custom t-shirt quilts.

This Deal of the Week is a big one! For the first 30 people who bring in their t-shirts, Quilters Connection is offering $240 off the regular pricing of the process.

Just mention the "LH Today Deal of the Week."

You can order your quilt by stopping by Quilters Connection and seeing Shelley. She already has the pattern and backing fabric ready – all you have to do is bring in those special t-shirts.

If you stop in and place your order by Saturday, February 20th, Quilters Connection can insure delivery by graduation.

Make some special memories for your child - and clean out those drawers while you're at it!

Quilters Connection is located at 9658 Plano Road at Walnut Hill.
