None vulnerable at matchpoints.  The bidding is
1NT x P 2 ♣
P 2 ♦ 2♥ 3♦
3♥ P  P  ?
1NT is 12-14 and the double is 15+
You have
♠ K10x
♥ x
♦ Jxxx
♣ 10xxxx
a redouble immediately after the double would be a transfer to clubs.  To show a weak hand with hearts immediately after the double the bid would be 2♦.
Your opponents are a poor club standard.  You are significantly better.

						I think I'd have stood the double of 1N.
What would double of 3♥ be from partner ? and what is it from me here ?

						I have a monster, and should have bid 4♦ on the previous round. However, things may have turned out for the best, since I can catch up with 4♥ now.
Slam is possible and game highly likely.

With the explanations, partner has an approximate 15-16 count (the 2♥ bidder has enough to stand the double), maybe Axx, Qx, AKQ10xxx, J, he also passed over 3♥ so slam is very unlikely and game fairly unlikely.
