like you are goin to sew together and when she ask where you got the machine say why someone left this here for you.
I have a Lily and wouldn't part with it for the world. Great machines. I have a newer Viking, but always sit down at the Lily.
Take a picture for us.

You could put a label in the owner's manual with her name on it. Then you could ask her to help you "understand" something about that machine by looking it up in the book.
Or you can do like I did recently: Handed off the extension table and a SID foot. Of course a puzzled look followed. I said, "well, if you are interested, there is a machine that goes with it." teehehe It felt good!

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...
