Meemaw's favorite thing to do at the Fort Hill plantation was to sew quilts into bags and purses for her daughter-in-law and granddaughter. Because Meemaw was so beloved by the Clemson family, no one had the heart to tell her that she was color blind. And her bags were ugly. Today, truly dedicated female Clemsonites pay homage to ole Meemaw Bradley by carrying around quilted bags in a variety of loud colors, like she used to make. These bags have the added advantage of attracting male Clemsonites. After all, what guy doesn't want to date a girl that reminds him of someone's grandma?
