The Queen of Quilting!
Optivo Faversham resident, Patty Schroll, has
two loves; quilting and helping others. As a
youngster Patty, originally from the USA, was
always encouraged by her family to help others.
When she went to university in Michigan, Patty
joined Gamma Sigma Sigma, a sorority whose
central purpose is ‘service to humanity’. As the
first member of her sorority to come to the UK,
she was determined to continue in this way.
Patty also has a passion for quilting! With a
little support from her Grandmother, Patty
started quilting at a young age. Her quilting
has even contributed to her charity work; a
special ‘signature quilt’ she made raised
more than £5,000 for the MS Society.
Patty received two awards for
her charity work. A lifetime
award for volunteering that
came from the President’s
Volunteer Service
administered
by former US
president George
W Bush and a rare
‘Distinguished
Service Award’
by her
sorority.
