I once handstitched a mumu together on a flight to Hawaii - the stewardess was amazed!
Cut out some blocks & appliques for baby quilts and make a baby quilt top or two on the way out. Practically speaking you can "pillowcase them" and add the batting, turn and tie them - or give them to someone else to finish...
On the way back make blocks for table runners or a quilt or any project yo can finish at home.

How about English paper piecing. And if you check out www.paperpieces.com you can even get the papers cut in several patterns for a reasonable cost.
