Inspiration for the artwork at the Rising Star Quilters’ Guild’s annual show can come from anywhere – even politics, as patchwork President Barack Obama illustrates.

Lexington - The 2009 annual show of the Rising Star Quilters Guild is on display at Lexington’s Cary Hall through Sunday.

More than 100 quilts are on display. In addition, more than 70 will be raffled off, with proceeds going to the New England Quilt Museum in Lowell, and to the following organizations that provide services to victims of domestic abuse: REACH, Welcome Baby and Germaine Lawrence in Arlington.

Admission to the show is $5; children 12 and under are admitted free.

Sunday hours are from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Quilting demonstrations will take place at all times.

Check wickedlocallexington.com later this week for a video of the event.
