Light Tan or Cream — the warm-neutral call?

Saturation: Cream is yellow-white and reads light; Light Tan is yellow-brown and reads earthier. On true tan fabric Cream sits a shade too pale — Light Tan vanishes into it.

Signature fabric pairings at Linda's?

ATXSH Wildflowers Oatmeal and Longhorns Tan — the sandy tone quilts into those grounds as pure texture, the natural thread for the whole Texas-earthy palette.

Why matte for farmhouse work?

The aesthetic is homespun — Omni's matte reads like cotton stitching where Glide's sheen would read polished; rustic quilts usually want the quieter finish.

Backing-side behavior?

It harmonizes with the cream-tan cast natural batting lends thin backings — a warm-neutral back reads cohesive with Light Tan in the bobbin.

Where does it hand off to Bone or Linen Glide?

Same tonal territory, different finish — matte tan here, lustrous tan there. Pick by whether the quilting should whisper or gleam.
