When I travel I stitch in the car. It is very hard to stitch on linen and aida when the road is bumpy - so I found this kit from Vervaco that is cross stitch that you stitch on large count canvas. The kit includes the canvas and flosses - the backing is NOT included. It was fun, no hassel stitching, making large x's with yarn, and I had our finisher complete as a pillow.
