Congratulations, I wish that I could have been in your shoes and received the machine on which I learned to sew. But, I have adopted several others of the same vintage (and older) and love them as I would have the original. It is so exciting to get something like you have just received and in return, you could make her a quilt or a wall hanging of a similar machine with one of your Mother's favorite sayings embroidered at the bottom or even your words saying "thank you".
