Lynne, feminine of Lynn. From an English surname which was derived from Welsh llyn "lake." Before the start of the 20th century it was primarily used for boys, but it has since come to be more common for girls. In some cases it may be thought of as a short form of LINDA or names which end in lyn or line."
Oh gosh, here's another one:
"The meaning of "Lynne"
German name
In German, the name Lynne means- Variant of Linda: Snake. Lime tree; linden tree. Can also be a diminutive of any name ending in -linda. Other origins for the name Lynne include - German, English, English, French, Spanish, English. The name Lynne is most often used as a girl name or female name.

I think I'd go with "Lake" myself. Perhaps with a snake swimming in it. And an island with a lime tree in the middle....

If I did a block, I would do an American flag with an Irish calauda on it. I am irish, but I have never been to Ireland. I like the loyalty story of the Irish, and I would make the block to show that my love and loyalty lie with the U.S.A!

Choose a pic you like and just do it! I had a total ball making mine and thinking up ways to improve and embellish it!

Of course the "sew" part is because I love to sew and the 1096 is the "ten code" for crazy at Reno Police Department. I recently retired after 25 years of being a police dispatcher so I thought using 10-96 fit me pretty well!!
Any one have any ideas?
