The nbmtLink has produced a beautiful holiday card to raise additional funds and expand organizational visibility. The new card has an original poinsettia quilt design, created by Victoria Bartling.

Bartling, a BMT patient, is a pediatric audiologist who lives near Philadelphia. Quilting and sewing are her passions and she did needle work, including embroidery and quilts, during her treatment for leukemia. Bartling describes the wall-hanging quilts she made during that time as narrative--reflecting her thoughts during her illness. The quilts communicated her feeling that "All will be well" while undergoing the difficult BMT.

Bartling's design incorporates her trademark small squares in a red and green poinsettia. nbmtLink Executive Director Myra Jacobs suggested the poinsettia to represent new life, very appropriate for Bartling, who says she has completed a two-year recovery and is now cured.
