Then, I'm so glad it found it's way back to you. You sound like you made many happy memories on it. (Purple is my favorite color.) That is such a special thing to note. (The last color she used.) I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom.
I'm so lucky, my mom gave me the machine she learned on. Her mom's 1928 Singer 66. I just had her cleaned, tweaked and rewired. And she hums like a dream. "Ruthie" (named after her original owner, Grandma Hamm) has resided at my house for about the last 30 years. (Before I even learned to sew and quilt.) Now, she's up and running again.
Sew something that makes you happy on it!!
