The fabric swatches you displayed look like the "new" Noddy. They are pretty darn cute though. Will we be able to get them in the US? |
i would gladly send a couple of books if needed , just have to ask :)

|
Oh gosh, I grew up with Noddy :)
He's a british character and I still have one of my old books :) |

The back middle character is Golliwog [ATTACH=CONFIG]97485[/ATTACH] |
my 3 & 4 year old love Noddy. his show can be found in the US on the Sprout channel. we get it with direct tv. i would need to make two quilts with noddy fabric to avoid fights. so many fabrics so little time.

I never heard of Noddy until my granddaughter lived with us at age 2 and we discovered him on the Sprout channel on cable TV.

I can't believe you've never heard of Noddy and Big Ears and Mr Plod. They were a great part of my childhood.
My sisters and I had a doll of each of the characters. Loved them. Maybe it was just an Australian/English thing. |
