Bless your Heart is an interaction, a gift, and a community.
Jillian Youngbird offers participants a series of workshops to teach them how to make beaded quilt squares.
In exchange, Youngbird asks participants for a story, a recipe, or a skill that they learned from
someone important in their life like their mother or grandmother. Youngbird will compile these gifts into a book and recordings.
Youngbird will also collect the beaded quilt squares to make one community quilt. This quilt will be displayed along with the compilation of gifts.
​
Bless Your Heart is a collaborative project put together by Jillian and Reality Club, run by David Alpert.
​
Reality Club works together with open minds and compassion to explore reality through the
arts. Our past projects include a crystal growing party, a simulated interactive observatory,
making music with meteorological indicators, and a spacetime variety show in a garage. We
always collaborate, and our past partners include Future Total Group, Stray Cat Film Center,
Potluck, and Open House.
