I like this suggestion, or you could make a
pocket caddy that slips between the mattress and springs and hangs at the side of the bed. It could have pockets for her glasses, a book, a notepad and pen, and the like.
Another idea might be a sort of dop kit or zippered box/bag that could hold her toiletries or other small items. Here's a
tutorial, but you could make it any size.
I have the Bernina 830 of a similar vintage and love it. I was going to suggest that whatever you make, perhaps it would be fun to incorporate some of the special stitches the machine makes. She would surely recognize and enjoy seeing them.
