Terrific news - it is so good to be busy and happy, if you're alive. We used to go visit my MIL in the nursing home (she was there for 3 years before she passed) and there was a lady there who was always working on a quilt. Her son bought her fabrics, and she had quite a stash there in the corner of the room, where most of the other people had their TV. Her quilts were usually donated for auction by the local volunteer fire dept. I stopped to visit her often, because I was working on some hand quilting when we went up for a visit and enjoyed the comraderie and her spirit. She also made small items, and sold quite a few to the staff for Christmas gifts.
So your Mom is for sure on the right track, and lucky to have you to work with!
