I wish I had a Kitchenaid Mixer


Until then.... I'm happy to make pretty Kitchenaid Mixer Covers.


I'm also quite happy to drool over all the yummy baked goods that they create.



Would you believe that Nicole found me just by googling Kitchenaid Mixer Covers?

She went to Spotty and bought this very pretty floral fabric (it's part of the DS Quilts Picnic and Fairground Range), popped it in the post, and I transformed it into a new cover.

I hope she likes it!

Stars and Stripes


In case you hadn't already noticed, the t-shirt quilt that I'm slowly working on, is made up of tees that were bought by the soon to be quilt owner on a trip to America last year.

She wanted an American themed backing fabric (which I couldn't find here in Australia), so I searched around online for some options for her to choose from. She's chosen this American Tribute Waving Flags fabric which I found at The Quilters Garden.


I ordered a little bit of extra fabric so that I could whip up another Kitchenaid Cover for her.... and I couldn't resist taking a photo of it on my beautiful Australia tablecloth!

Waste not, want not...


She's also ended up with a pot holder!

Spot the Difference (bad pun intended)


The lovely lady for whom I'm making the t-shirt quilt, also requested a couple of replacement covers for her Kitchenaid Mixer.

She already had the standard white Kitchenaid Cover (the one on the left), but wanted something in green tones.


I made myself a template, and whipped up a quick toile out of some scrap fabric.... and then had a little conundrum, because I really needed to test it out.

I remembered that when Nic from Yardage Design had blogged about her kitchen, she had a Kitchenaid Mixer on the bench...... so I popped the toile in the mail, and Nic tested it out for me - thankyou Nic, you're a gem!.

As you can see - with scrappy one sided fabric and no wadding, the toile was rather floppy, and it was just a little too long also.


After the testing phase, I got to work on the real thing.

I must say that I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
