Many artists use a needle and thread to create intricately beautiful pieces, especially around the holiday season. If you would like to see what this style of art looks like, then be sure to check out the Beyond Needleart Exhibit and Artists’ Boutique. Found at the Montpelier Mansion, this exhibit is a special part of the tour, and one that you won't want to miss.

A wide variety of artistic pieces that use fibers can be found in the exhibit, which explores the history and tradition of needleart. Afterwards, peruse the Artists’ Boutique for more wonderful creations. Be sure to check out the assortment of ornaments here, which are one-of-a-kind. Buy them as a gift for a loved one, or take a few home yourself. This is an excellent way to enjoy art this season.
