Grandmother's Flower Garden is a gorgeous quilt made of about a zillion tiny hexagons sewn around pieces of card stock or heavy paper. It's a beautiful pattern that I know I will always be too lazy to make. :-(
Do a quick Google for images. There are many.

I think that I can take a child's safety scissors and I think I can take sewing needles. I am at a loss for ideas, so dear friends, help!

I'd make yo-yos. They don't require as much attention to detail as embroidery projects. Sometimes airline lighting leaves something to be desired. You could have enough for a table runner by the time you fly there and back. I'm making my next ones with the Clover yo-yo maker. I made them the old way in the 70s to make a vest. There's a new Clover yo-yo maker that makes flowers, too.

I just put together a small wall hanging and then marked it and am hand quilting it. Very fun actually! (my first time trying hand quilting and loving it!) Very compact, I have a baggie with my thread, needles, scissors and thimble and then the fabric.

today- according to the rules you can have scissors up to 4" long- pins, needles, pin cushion...
I don't understand the thought behind these rules...they let knitting needles on the plane! I would think they could do more damage than 4" pins. I'm just saying.
