Abstract: A holder for a needlework frame usable by a seated operator includes a base member upon which the operator may sit and a support member pivotally attached to the base member from which a clamp bar for holding the needlework frame extends. The needlework frame is attached to the clamp bar through the use of a C-clamp and the clamp bar may be vertically adjusted above the lap of the operator through the use of a longitudinal slot provided in the support post, while the clamp bar may also be rotated about its horizontal axis so as to adjust the angle of the needlework frame relative to the operator. The clamp bar may be removed and the support post may then be pivotally collapsed against the base member to facilitate storage and transporting of the holder.
