When it comes to manual labour (like quilting) people immediately turn things upside down:
Do you go to a store and tell the manager: "I am willing to pay you $ 2.00 for this piece of meat?"
The pastor's wife obviously is an adult and should know how the world works. She probably would not tell her tax accountant how much she is willing to pay him!
BTW, here is the answer to "Let's go to the store and get the materials":
"Oh, I thought you could just use some of your odds and ends!"
