Redwood Arts Association in Eureka is having an exhibit called Beyond the Page until Dec 12.

"Garden Green" is my entry, a painted piece which is heavily quilted and the bottom is shaped to resemble a leaf, with a tiny piping accent.         Award of Merit

Across F street at the Morris Graves Museum is another exhibit from Nov. 29 - Jan. 4. There you can see what I call "Cat Tails". It has a woven sky, Mosaic pieced ground, and a painted tiger with heavy embroidery. It is also heavily quilted and has a shaped edge with tiny piping accenting the binding.
