2026 Double Take: Christmas Windows

Nikki’s Quilt Shop
Take a closer look at the newest shop in the Christmas Window series.

Christmas Windows
Nikki’s Quilt Shop
24th in the series.

Fans of this beloved series know that Keepsake Artist Tammy Haddix, now retired, often designed ornaments based on the people in her life. And this year’s quaint little quilt shop is no different. Tammy’s soon-to-be daughter-in-law is an avid quilter and became the inspiration for the design. So, naturally, we named the shop after herhi there, Nikki!

In front of the shop is a little girl (also inspired by Tammy’s future daughter-in-law) holding an adorable, quilted teddy bear. Inside the store window is a sewing machine along with all kinds of quilt-essential details that fellow quilters will love. Along the back wall, Tammy even sculpted а colorful quilt, and it’s sew very cute!

We’re so excited to see how this longstanding series continues to grow as it’s passed on to a new artist. In fact, we couldn’t resist trying to get a few more secrets out of the team for what’s next. “How ’bout a comic shop or video game arcade?” says Art Director Charles Young.

“I’d love to see a bookstore in the future, or a shoe store or museum might be fun,” adds Editorial Director Lindsay Evans. “But who knows where this series will take us!”
