How would YOU go about this?

I have some very precious doilies that need washing and very likely, blocking.  These doilies are from my grandmother and my great grandmother.  They are both crochet.  The plan is to wash, block, and frame them so that my Mom can give them away to her brothers and sisters as presents.  So, how would you go about it?

As you will, they are quite dirty.  Unfortunately, we had a house fire in 2004, so, the dirt that is on them is probably soot.

Of course, I would like to get this done before we move in August, but I don't want to rush them either.



















They are gorgeous, aren't they?
