I have a small world story, but it's not a fellow quilter. When we moved to the Houston area, many years ago, and placed membership at our church, they asked new members to sit down with the elders and visit about what we would be interested in being involved in. When the elder's wife heard we were from Midland, she said she had a niece in the Midland/Odessa area (combined population about 250,000 people) and we might know her. I said I doubted it, but what was her name. When she told me I just died laughing because her niece was my mom and dad's next door neighbor in Rankin (a town of about 850 people and 60 miles from the Midland/Odessa area!). Her niece and I had a great chuckle about it over coffee the next time I was home visiting the folks. :)
