Welcome
Eddie Caples was born in Doddsville, Mississippi, USA. He learned to create quilts by watching his grandmother, his mother and their neighbours on the plantation where he grew up.
Eddie is now retired after a long and varied career in the US military, the California penal system, and in drug and alcohol counselling, but he has always made quilts.
He began quilting by hand stitching pieces of cloth together when he was eight years old, an age when it was determined by his elders (mother, grandmother and father) that he knew that needles had very sharp points.
