Vierlande is a rural area just outside of Hamburg on the river Elbe. The name "Vierlande" literally translates as "four lands" and refers to the four parishes in it (Kirchwerder, Neuengamme, Altengamme and Curslack). The area has a rich cultural tradition of dress and folk art. Girls in this area would create stunning samplers, which in the 19th century were often fully worked with black thread on linen. This mini design features a large tree of life at its centre, and surrounding it are (half ) medallions. This design is fully monochrome and features full crosses only and can be stitched on any counted cross stitch material. Stitch count is 81 x 99. Finished size on 28 ct is 5.79" x 7.07".
