About Us
Annie Moody
Co-Founder
Annie loves designing and using the hoop of her embroidery machine to its full potential. She's taught all over the United States and Japan. Her published articles and projects can be found on Janome America's website, the Quilter Machine, the Janome Digest magazine and more. She's a quilt-in-the-hoop enthusiast and will likely never go back to traditional quilt-making methods.
Lynda Remmers
Co-Founder
Lynda and her husband Duane opened their own local quilt shop, Sewing Concepts, in 1989, selling Janome sewing machines. Today, they operate two stores in Illinois, and Lynda leads classes in both. Her favorite subjects are embroidery and software classes.
Aubrey Ellerbrock
Chief Operating Officer
Aubrey joined HoopSisters in 2010 as the Marketing Director. Nowdays she is busy as our LIVE Workshop Hostess and business development.
As a busy Mom of three, she is yet to begin sewing but she loves inspiring others alongside each designer during LIVE tutorials.
Sarah Congdon
Creative Director + Business Development
Sarah does a little of everything! Since 2017 she has been a Designer & Digitizer here at HoopSisters but she also rolls up her sleeves and works closely with Aubrey to develop programs and offerings we hope you'll enjoy.
Nina Gladen
Customer Experience Manager
Nina joined the HoopSisters family in 2019 and quickly became the go-to team member that our customers turn to for any questions! From helping you login to, and download, to questions on a design, Nina is here to help.
