I purchased a massage stool http://www.massagesupplies.com/product/5920/ and it works great for me. I put in in my car upside down for travel and it doesn't take up much space. While at workshops I can scoot around my workspace, adjust the height based on the height of the worksurface and adjust the height to relieve a constant sitting position.

I can't take credit for this. I met a woman at an annual workshop who was using one. Since I purchased mine, I see there are a few other quilters in the workshop have purchased them.
