You might be able to use a lap frame like the K's. I sit with legs up, or
cross-legged on the couch and have it on my leg - sometimes with a
counterweight on the base. But, I've had good success, even stitching in
bed, or an armchair. The Baby Z is small enough that I think you could use
it, though it will take pieces up to about 14" X 16" . If I were closer I'd
lend you mine to try.

Lucille,
I like using a K's Creations Lap Frame more than I do my ancient Sit on
It
Frame. It keeps the frame more stable and can be on my lap or on a
table so it
works at home or at a seminar. But they've gotten a lot
more expensive than
when I bought mine so many years ago!
I am finally back to stitching on some of my UFO's - the next project
is a Sea
Hose Carousel Animal canvas I bought in 1990! I've got
canvasses even older
than that to stitch, sadly enough.
Anne W.

A bunch of stuff underway:
Just started to crochet a throw for my mom for Christmas in colors to
coordinate with her new sofa.
Doing a Margaret Sherry design from her 2009 calendar (Domestic Goddess
- a cooking cat) for an ornament for a coworker.
Started an ornament (and plan to do a few more) from Emie Bishop's new
pattern, Christmas Quilt http://www.emiebishopdesigns.com/newsletter.html
quilting a couple of table runners for Christmas/birthday gifts
Every night I play "eenie meenie minie moe" before I sit down to stitch!

How fun! I know a couple of people who would love these designs!
Dang! Wish I'd known about these last year...they would have been the
perfect wedding gift for one couple!
