I started this rug before Christmas, with little detours to side projects, but it is now done.
Last summer, there was a volunteer sunflower in my garden that didn't grow that tall, but had an extremely sturdy thick stem—a couple of inches thick, for sure. Sunflowers generally eventually turn face down because of the weight of the flower and the seeds, but not this one. Even at the end of the season, it faced the sky. It was glorious, and the seeds must have been very tasty, because they were gobbled up quickly.
In my mind, I called this sunflower the Garden Guardian. I don't know why—it just popped into my head, and it felt right. So this is my homage to that sunflower.
