Well it looks like 'Six Hearts' to me, not 'Three Hearts', but then I did not design and/or name the piece; I just stitched it. I very much enjoyed working on this. I haven't done much with beads before. This used three different Mill Hill colors. The bead size was such that I could continue to use the same size needle with or without beads, and that sped-up stitching. I do like the unusual colors - blues, greens, and lavenders - not 'normal' Valentine colors.
A bit of excitement Monday morning. As I drove toward this Big Leaf Maple just before 7am, I noticed someone perched atop the tree. It was a Great-horned Owl! Drove by slowly and the bird remained perched. Oh, how I wish I'd had a camera!

What a sweet heart stitch! While I am familiar with A Needle and Fred designer, I hadn't seen that heart stitch before. Good for you on the great horned owl sighting!
Too bad you didn't have your camera. We hear owls but never see them.
