David LaPlaca
**In person lecture also accessible by Zoom**
“Draw, Cut, Paste, Quilt”
February 10, 2026

Lecture Description: David LaPlaca submitted photos of his church& #39;s enormous advent banner
to be considered for display at the 2025 International Quilt Festival in Houston, and it was
chosen. The four panels measure more than 17 feet wide with 32 separate pieces. Last October
David and his wife travelled to Texas for the last few days of the exhibition, which drew
approximately 60,000 attendees from more than 25 countries. While there, David gave two talks
about his work. In his presentation for the guild, he will share his unique approach to design and
quilting.
About David: As an art director in publishing, David designed and illustrated a wide variety of
books. A father of four homeschooled children, he serves on the worship team of Immanuel
Presbyterian Church and enjoys creating sacred art for the church year. He holds degrees in art
and music, and discovers joy in making and restoring harps, preparing beautiful edible creations,
and constructing the occasional castle or puppet theater. He has taught art at Greenhouse
Christian Co-School in Wheaton, Illinois since 2011.
