I like OzarksGma's idea! I had such fun sewing with my deceased friend...she's the one who got me restarted with sewing. So set the machines out to sew with...ask her what she thinks of the machine she is sewing on, several times throughout the stay and when it's time for her to leave be sure it's packed up with her things by the door. She will love it and you! I also like the idea of a kit to send with her to sew on til you meet again. Have a great time catching up with each other and enjoy your time together, cuz you never know...
