A New Patchwork Heart Pattern? UPDATED

I just stumbled across this unknown Loretta design on Pinterest. It appears to be a patchwork pattern made into a heart ornament.   The person who uploaded the photo says it is a Loretta design stitched as an Apple Blossom Chapter (of the American Needlepoint Guild) project.

Thanks to the sharp eyes on Facebook's Needlepoint Nation group, I now know that this ornament is Loretta's "Victorian Heart," published in the January-February 1991 issue of Needlepoint Plus magazine.  Appreciate your help, Terry!  It's amazing how different it looks in different colors.  Or maybe it is just different cameras.
