Meet Jenny – The Heart Behind The Cross Stitch Emporium

Hi, I’m Jenny! I was raised in Wyoming, and after 26 years of serving in the military, my husband and I chose to settle back here, close to family. With my mom, sister, and her family nearby—and Nebraska just a short trip away for my husband’s family—Wyoming felt like the perfect place to call home.

So, why a cross stitch store? After leaving the military, I knew I wanted a career where I could control my time and do something I truly loved. I’ve always enjoyed exploring small, locally owned boutiques wherever we lived, but I had no experience running a business. To learn, I spent four years working for a local shop owner who taught me the ins and outs of running a store. When she retired, I considered taking over her shop, but if I was going to pour my heart into something, I wanted it to be a passion—something that filled a need in our community.

Our town has a wonderful quilt store, an established yarn shop, and charming boutiques, but cross stitch supplies? The only options were Walmart and the hardware store. As a new stitcher, I quickly realized how valuable it is to learn from others, to see linen and thread in person, and to connect with people who share a love for this craft. I wanted to create a space where stitchers—new and experienced—could come together, find inspiration, pick up high-quality supplies, and share their knowledge and passion for cross stitch.

And that’s how The Cross Stitch Emporium was born—where imagination and fiber come together!
