Whose shawl is this?

While we were in Utah The Washburns (distant cousins of the Hulls) came over to visit. Last year Bill and Melanie, who live in Kansas, were involved in the organization of a family reunion for the descendants of Joseph and Emma Smith and the Washburns stayed in their home. Sister Washburn is a direct descendant. She brought with her this shawl that belonged to Lucy Mack Smith. It was pretty amazing to hold the shawl and take the picture. There is a new Emma Smith movie and the actress who plays Lucy is wearing this shawl. Just thought I'd share this neat piece of history!
