AuntB,
I love your creation! Will you please share the link? I went to Pat Sloan's website but couldn't find it.

Thanks!

So adorable! I think they must call it ugly because although it is so cute on a potholder, I don't think it would be as cute on...... lets say "me"! lol

I would put fusible web on the wrong side and cut the sweaters out and make tags, cards or small quilted items.

I don't know why they call them "ugly sweaters" either. I have 2 Christmas vests that I suppose would qualify, but I enjoy wearing them. I've always wanted a Christmas sweater, but since I have the vests (bought separately in a thrift store), I don't need one anymore! I guess their original owners thought they were ugly; lucky me!

The ornament is cute! And I'd love to make one (or 3)!

The "ugly" Christmas sweater bit on the Tonight Show is pretty much the best thing Jimmie Fallon has all year! IMHO Only 7 more to reveal this year and then I'll have to wait for 2017. LOL
