I guess I'm an odd duck. I give things away all the time if I think someone can use it. But I don't ever expect anything in return, nor do I do it to gain friendships. I have plenty of friends although I also believe that you can never have too many. Maybe she is just wanting to be nice and expects nothing from you. If you truly don't want the fabric just say that you'll pass it on to someone that can use it. OR, tell her of some charitable group that takes donations. We have a group of ladies here that takes small print childrens fabric to make boo boo bunnies, bears, and other small animals for children that have to have out patient surgery or have to enter the emergency room. There's another group that makes book totes for children in third world countries.
