Default Has anyone made a cover for their long arm?

I want to make a cover for my long arm, including the top of the frame, probably with a quilt in progress. I'm thinking of making it in 3 or 4 pieces. I have a 10' table, so I was thinking of 2 runners, each about 7' long X the width of the table plus maybe 12" or so for a bit of overhang. This way I wouldn't have to worry too much about where the head was left on the frame, with 14' total, I should have enough to cover it. Then I was thinking about a 2 pc cover for the machine that would be split sort of down the middle, front to back. I would attach the 2 sides with pieces of strategically placed velcro (not a continuous strip). I wouldn't try to cover the thread 'antenna', I'd let that poke out where the 2 pieces of the cover joined. I don't quilt for hire, and there are occasions the machine is idle for weeks at a time.
Couldn't find anything on google.
Anyone make one for their machine? do you have pictures? Any comments on my plan?
