That's in spades! Well done for keeping your cool, and finding a solution.
It's also possible to reweave using thread from the edge of your fabric. Only trick is to use horizontal thread for a horizontal reweave, and a vertical thread for a vertical reweave.

Thanks for the tip. Hopefully I will never have to use it again
You solved the problem great! Another method, that I used with my favourite linen dress (that is now too big, hehe ) when a hole appeared in it, to put a piece of fabric behind it, as a patch and stitch the two together with the crosses. But in your case, as it was only two lines, it wasn't necessary.
I am sure it won't show.

I think that would scare the bejeezies out of me if that happened to me. I think I'd be more likely to scrap it and start over on another piece of fabric. Great save! Let's hope that the rest of the project is smooth sailing.

I'm incredibly impressed by your fix! I never would have though to weave and most likely would have cried while starting on a new piece of fabric. I'm amazed by this!
And I love the design, too. It's nice that the three dragonflies are different - the centre one looks like a mayfly with those long 'tails', though the body and wings are not really mayfly, I think (I'm not too well-up on the differences between dragon/may flies, apart from the 'tails' ). As you say - not bad for a freebie!

I would have been crying. So glad that you had a fix that has woked for you!!!!!!! 
what a great repair job and I'm just loving this design--it's stitching up very nicely and quickly!!
