As to Mom's traveling; she always loved travel. Now that she's semi-retired, she gets to do so regularly. I should create a subcategory of "Mom's travel". She picks pretty interesting places! Cuba, Australia, South Africa, China, El Salvador, Turkey, Ecuador -- <em>during</em> the recent coup. Next stop: Egypt! I prefer not to seam, but yes, mattress stitch looks nearly invisible.
