My husband is also a Pastor of a Church. A lot of times members have been cleaning out and when they find out I quilt they will give me fabric or sewing supplies. I really don't think they expect you to make them something when they do this. You are actually doing them a favor by taking the stuff they don't want any more. As a Pastor's wife we do a lot for Church members. I know I visit with my husband, go to hospitals and sit for hours when a Church member is have surgery and a lot of other things. I truly believe the lady doesn't want any thing from you. I had a lady give me over 200 yards of fabric. She had purchased a trunk load of fabric when a lqs went out of business. When we pastored at her church she was in her 80's and she knew she would never be able to use all of that fabric. She was so happy when she found out I was a quilter and she asked me if I would take some of it from her and I did. I also have a man in our Church now who will bring me fabric to Church if he finds any at a yard sale. He just wants to do something nice for his Pastors wife. Just accept it and give a genuine "thank you". And if you are like me you will probably end up making things and giving them away to people in need. I feel like this. God is blessing me so I can bless someone else.
