Lots of patterns out there and alot are free. Main thing is to measure correctly for size of ends and a peice wide enouth to go arouind the ends and to cover the machine. PM me and I can explain better.

Yes, I do; in fact, my first project for a new machine is often a quilted cover. I found a pattern in a library book called "Quilting 101" which turned out to be a bit demanding, but after making a dozen or so, I think I've got it down pat.

The Log Cabin was the first one I made and I followed the directions precisely. Later I changed the blocks to the Spool pattern, the Square in a Square and the Churn Dash. The last one in shades of beige was made for a Bernina 930 and I had to add an extra row of blocks to give it the length it needed to cover the bottom. For one of my machines, I added an opening at the top for a handle. It's been fun making them for my babies and I've even given a few of them away.

Hope this helps.

Kitchen Aid Mixer Covers
 
I believe it was Oregon Patchworks I heard that had the pattern of the Kitchen Aid mixer pic to put on your mixer cover. They're out there.
