A lot of nice designs with Diddl on the project page. Is this a cartoon figure? Tell me more. I no longer have kids at home & so far no grandkids. Thanks

I'm thinking these might be European, because my grandchildren don't recognize them. ;)

Thought maybe persiancatlover would get back to us. Maybe she hasn't read the question yet. I'm feelin better and young again since I'm not the only one that didn't know. Thanks

I kinda asked the same the same question 3 or 4 days ago. couldn't help cause I also didn't know what the ladys were talkinf about. Which was this Diddlen thing. But I gather it is a cartoon figure from the UK where she is from.Not sure.

Well, I saw designs of them on a Dutch site. They look familiar to me, but I don't remember where else I may have seen them.

They are certainly not Dutch. I have seen them here, only as embroidery designs, never saw a cartoon. From the name I guess they must be British (or Irish maybe).

No, not British! I've never seen them before. The dog looks a bit like Gardfield's Odie though.

Greetings to you Connie, we're so glad you posted here and told us all about Diddl! Did you digitize the designs yourself? If Diddl is a copyrighted character, it may be illegal to share those designs with others, even free. I know you are being kind & want to help, but please check the copyright, we don't want you to get in trouble for just doing something nice. We would miss all your lovely projects. Marji

Thanks for the response and sharing the information. I was not familiar with the character in the US and was interested in the background/history of it. It appears that it is much like our Mickey Mouse character.

persiancatlover is right, originally this cartoon figure comes from germany, In the netherlands it is introduced around 1997, There is a lot of merchandise of all kind and everey year there is more to buy.and the embroidery designs of persiancatlover are very lovely, they look just like the cartoons of diddle.Greetings to all.

Diddl is a cartoon-character designed by the German artist Thomas Goletz (read the wikipedia-article about).
And Diddl -of course- has it's own website in more than 15 countries.

Thanks for the information. I knew someone would know about the character.
